Structure in parasite component communities in wild rodents: predictability, stability, associations and interactions .... or pure randomness?
Experimental data establish that interactions exist between species of intestinal helminths during concurrent infections in rodents, the strongest effects being mediated through the host's immune responses. Detecting immune-mediated relationships in wild rodent populations has been fraught with problems and published data do not support a major role for interactions in structuring helminth comm...
متن کاملGut Check: Do Interactions between Environmental Chemicals and Intestinal Microbiota Affect Obesity and Diabetes?
Plasticizers known as phthalates are used in many medical and household products. They also are used in the coatings on timedrelease pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements, and high levels of phthalate metabolites have been found in subjects who take such products regularly. In a new study, investigators examined available data to determine the extent and scope of ortho-phthalate use in pharma...
متن کاملComparison of gizzard and intestinal microbiota of wild neotropical birds
Gut bacterial communities have been shown to be influenced by diet, host phylogeny and anatomy, but most of these studies have been done in captive animals. Here we compare the bacterial communities in the digestive tract of wild birds. We characterized the gizzard and intestinal microbiota among 8 wild Neotropical bird species, granivorous or frugivorous species of the orders Columbiformes and...
متن کاملThe Role of Intestinal Microbiota in Cognitive Disorders
Cognitive disorders are one of the major public health issues in older population worldwide. Problems in forming and storing new memories, short-term memory impairment, and other cognitive problems are common symptoms of cognitive disorders that have no definite treatment yet. Recent studies have shown an association between gut microbiota and cognitive impairments described as microbiota-gut-...
متن کاملInteraction between Intestinal Microbiota and Serotonin Metabolism
Gut microbiota regulates the production of signaling molecules, such as serotonin or 5-Hydroxytryptamine: 5-HT in the host. Serotonin is a biogenic amine that acts as a neurotransmitter in the gut and brain. There is a perfect interaction between human gastrointestinal microbiota and the serotonin system. The gut microbiota plays an important role in the serotonin signaling pathways through the...
