A high-fat (HF) diet reduces resistance to the foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes. We demonstrate that short-term gavage with A. muciniphila increases resistance to oral and systemic L. monocytogenes infection in ...

INTRODUCTION: There is great interest in studies on the implications that gut microbiota exerts on the behavior of people with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), through the microbiota-gut-brain axis. Most studies on microbiota ...

BACKGROUND & AIMS: The gut-liver axis plays a critical role in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). Osteopontin (OPN, encoded by SPP1) is implicated in chronic liver disease; however, its expression in ...

BACKGROUND: The association between the oral pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis (PG) and the gut microbiota in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients has been explored with inconsistent results. This study aims to systematically ...

Coffee pulp is a by-product characterized by its richness in phenolic compounds. This study examined the catabolism of (poly)phenols in digested coffee pulp flour (CPF) and extract (CPE) during in vitro colonic fermentation. ...

Bile acids (BAs) are biomolecules involved in lipids and glucose metabolism, and recently discovered microbially conjugated BAs (MCBAs) play an important role. Although the production of MCBAs amidated with amino acids ...

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major public health problem worldwide. NAFLD (both simple steatosis and steatohepatitis) is characterized by alterations in hepatic lipid metabolism, which may lead to the ...
