Is Childhood Obesity Associated with Iron Deficiency Anemia?
Background: The prevalence of obesity is increasing and many countries are struggling with its high rate and serious complications. As a result of distinct diet in obese children, they may be susceptible to nutritional deficiencies in particular, iron deficiency. This study aimed to examine the relationship between obesity and iron indices. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 206 element...
متن کاملHelicobacter pylori colonization is inversely associated with childhood asthma.
BACKGROUND Asthma, a serious health problem worldwide, is becoming more common. Colonization with Helicobacter pylori, a major human indigenous (commensal) microbe, during early life may be relevant to the risk of childhood asthma. METHODS We conducted cross-sectional analyses, using data from 7412 participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2000, to ass...
متن کاملCharacteristics of a water-forming NADH oxidase from Methanobrevibacter smithii, an archaeon in the human gut
NADH oxidases (NOXs) catalysing the oxidation of NADH to yield NAD+ and H2O, H2O2, or both play an important role in protecting organisms from oxidative stress and maintaining the balance of NAD+/NADH. A gene encoding NOX was identified from Methanobrevibacter smithii (NOX-ms), the predominant archaeon in the human gut ecosystem. Subsequent analyses showed that it is an FAD-containing protein w...
متن کاملGenomic and metabolic adaptations of Methanobrevibacter smithii to the human gut.
The human gut is home to trillions of microbes, thousands of bacterial phylotypes, as well as hydrogen-consuming methanogenic archaea. Studies in gnotobiotic mice indicate that Methanobrevibacter smithii, the dominant archaeon in the human gut ecosystem, affects the specificity and efficiency of bacterial digestion of dietary polysaccharides, thereby influencing host calorie harvest and adiposi...
متن کاملColonization with the enteric protozoa Blastocystis is associated with increased diversity of human gut bacterial microbiota.
Alterations in the composition of commensal bacterial populations, a phenomenon known as dysbiosis, are linked to multiple gastrointestinal disorders, such as inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome, or to infections by diverse enteric pathogens. Blastocystis is one of the most common single-celled eukaryotes detected in human faecal samples. However, the clinical significance o...
