Gut microbiota modulation for enhanced poultry production

TITLE : Beneficial modulation of the gut microbiota

24 The human gut microbiota comprises approximately 100 trillion microbial cells and has a significant 25 effect on many aspects of human physiology including metabolism, nutrient absorption and immune 26 function. Disruption of this population has been implicated in many conditions and diseases, including 27 examples such as obesity, inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer that are hi...

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...

Modulation of the gut microbiota with antibiotic treatment suppresses whole body urea production in neonatal pigs.

We examined whether changes in the gut microbiota induced by clinically relevant interventions would impact the bioavailability of dietary amino acids in neonates. We tested the hypothesis that modulation of the gut microbiota in neonatal pigs receiving no treatment (control), intravenously administered antibiotics, or probiotics affects whole body nitrogen and amino acid turnover. We quantifie...

Gut microbiota modulation in cirrhosis: a new frontier in hepatology.

Bajaj JS et al. (1) recently published a study in APT about gut microbiota modulation and consequences in cirrhotic patients. Cirrhotic patients with MHE patients were randomised 1:1 into LGG or placebo for 8 weeks. The aim was to determine gut microbiota composition and concomitant changes in function (metabolome) in cirrhotic patients with minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE). Serum, urine an...
