Gut microbiota and carcinogenesis in various human organs

Gut Microbiota and Neuropsychiatric Disorders

Psychobiotics and Brain-Gut Microbiota Axis

Fermented foods containing probiotic bacteria have been used for many years to improve the health or treatment of some diseases. Nowadays, the Therapeutic properties of probiotics are becoming more and more obvious to everyone, insofar as in recent years, more attention has been paid to the potential relation between gut microbiota and mental health. Several studies have shown that intestinal m...

High-fat-diet-modulated Gut Microbiota Promotes Intestinal Carcinogenesis

Gut microbiota play a critical role in the development of intestinal cancer. Dietary changes cause dysbiosis of gut microbiota that mediates production of dietary factors triggering intestinal cancer. Genetic and dietary factors work in different combinatorial ways in initiation and progression of intestinal cancer, one of which is changes in gut microbiota. Recently, it has been found that hig...

Human Gut Microbiota: Repertoire and Variations

The composition of human gut microbiota and their relationship with the host and, consequently, with human health and disease, presents several challenges to microbiologists. Originally dominated by culture-dependent methods for exploring this ecosystem, the advent of molecular tools has revolutionized our ability to investigate these relationships. However, many biases that have led to contrad...

Chocolate, gut microbiota, and human health

With the advances in molecular biology techniques, the association between changes in the gut microbiota and human diseases or disorders is becoming more evident. These health issues include aging (Rehman, 2012), oxidative stress (Qiao et al., 2012), blood pressure and atherosclerosis (Queipo-Ortuño, 2012), diabetes (Wen et al., 2008; Larsen et al., 2010); cancer (Mai et al., 2007), and differe...
