چکیده
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION SUPPLEMENTAL EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES VSL#3 protocol administration The probiotic mixture VSL#3 (VSL Pharmaceuticals Inc., Gaithersburg, MD) consists of eight live, lyophilized bacterial strains including four strains of Lactobacilli (L. paracasei (DSM24733), L. plantarum (DSM24730), L. acidophilus (DSM24735) and L. delbrueckii subspecies L. bulgaricus (DSM24734)), three strains of Bifidobacteria (B. longum (DSM24736), B. breve (DSM24732) and B. infantis (DSM24737)) and Streptococcus thermophilus (DSM24731). VSL#3 mixture was freshly prepared every day by dissolving 50x10 9 colony-forming units (cfu) in a total volume of 200μl of saline.

Resveratrol Attenuates Trimethylamine-N-Oxide (TMAO)-Induced Atherosclerosis by Regulating TMAO Synthesis and Bile Acid Metabolism via Remodeling of the Gut Microbiota
UNLABELLED The gut microbiota is found to be strongly associated with atherosclerosis (AS). Resveratrol (RSV) is a natural phytoalexin with anti-AS effects; however, its mechanisms of action remain unclear. Therefore, we sought to determine whether the anti-AS effects of RSV were related to changes in the gut microbiota. We found that RSV attenuated trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO)-induced AS in A...
متن کاملFXR agonists and FGF15 reduce fecal bile acid excretion in a mouse model of bile acid malabsorption.
Bile acid malabsorption, which in patients leads to excessive fecal bile acid excretion and diarrhea, is characterized by a vicious cycle in which the feedback regulation of bile acid synthesis is interrupted, resulting in additional bile acid production. Feedback regulation of bile acid synthesis is under the control of an endocrine pathway wherein activation of the nuclear bile acid receptor,...
متن کاملPPARα-UGT axis activation represses intestinal FXR-FGF15 feedback signalling and exacerbates experimental colitis
Bile acids play a pivotal role in the pathological development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, the mechanism of bile acid dysregulation in IBD remains unanswered. Here we show that intestinal peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα)-UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) signalling is an important determinant of bile acid homeostasis. Dextran sulphate sodium (DSS)-induced...
متن کاملTargeting bile acids and lipotoxicity for NASH treatment
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease, affecting approximately 20%-30% of the population in Western countries. Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is the progressive form of NAFLD that can develop into cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the underlying mechanism of progression of steatosis to NASH and cirrhosis is poorly understood....
متن کاملIntestinal farnesoid X receptor signaling promotes nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major worldwide health problem. Recent studies suggest that the gut microbiota influences NAFLD pathogenesis. Here, a murine model of high-fat diet-induced (HFD-induced) NAFLD was used, and the effects of alterations in the gut microbiota on NAFLD were determined. Mice treated with antibiotics or tempol exhibited altered bile acid composition, with ...
