A growing field of studies is focusing on the microbiota-gut-brain axis in order to better understand bidirectional communication pathways between gut bacteria and CNS. The pathophysiology neurological disorders including Alzheimer's disease autism has been attributed dysregulation gut-brain axis. Fecal microbiota transplantation method transferring faeces from a healthy donor into intestine re...

Introduction The relationship between oral and gut microbiota in alcohol dependence (AD) is not well understood, particularly the effects of on intestinal microbiota. current study aimed to explore association AD clarify whether could ectopically colonize into gut. Methods 16S rRNA sequence libraries were used compare microbial profiles persons with healthy controls (HC). Source Tracker NetShif...

Previous studies have paid much attention to the associations between high intake of meat and host health. Our previous study showed that the intake of meat proteins can maintain a more balanced composition of gut bacteria as compared to soy protein diet. However, the associations between dietary protein source, gut bacteria, and host health were still unclear. In this study, we collected colon...

Antibodies of the secretory IgA (SIgA) class comprise the first line of antigen-specific immune defense, preventing access of commensal and pathogenic microorganisms and their secreted products into the body proper. In addition to preventing infection, SIgA shapes the composition of the gut microbiome. SIgA is transported across intestinal epithelial cells into gut secretions by the polymeric i...
