Intestinal diseases caused by sleep deprivation (SD) are severe public health threats worldwide. However, whether or not probiotics attenuate the intestinal damage associated with SD remains unclear. In this study, we used antibiotic pretreatment and fecal microbiota transplantation to investigate the protective role of () 124 against SD-related intestinal barrier damage in C57BL/6 mice.

The aim of this review was to evaluate the feasibility of treating sleep disorders using novel gut microbiota intervention strategies. Multiple factors can cause sleep disorders, including an imbalance in the gut microbiota. Studies of the microbiome-gut-brain axis have revealed bidirectional communication between the central nervous system and gut microbes, providing a more comprehensive understanding of mood and behavioral regulatory patterns.

Lp84-3 promoted acetate, propionate, and butyrate production from RS3 by gut microbiota and increased Lactobacillus and Blautia contents in vitro. Furthermore, in the presence of Lp84-3, starch granules presented a "dot-by-hole" fermentation pattern.

Nowadays, most microbial research on longevity is usually limited to the bioinformatics level, lacking validating information on culturing functional microorganisms. Here, we combined metagenomic sequencing and large-scale in vitro culture to reveal the unique gut microbial structure of the world's longevity town-Jiaoling, China, centenarians and people of different ages.

This study explored the benefits and underlying mechanisms of 070103 fermented milk (BLFM) in thirteen-week high-fat and high-sugar (HFHS) fed mice using omics techniques.
Methods And Results: BLFM with activated glucokinase (GK) was screened by a double-enzyme coupling method.

is amongst the most virulent pathogens, causing chronic and life-threatening human infections. Methicillin-resistant (MRSA) are multidrug-resistant strains, and the ability of forming a biofilm reduces their sensitivity to antibiotics. Thus, the alternative compounds inhibiting both resistant strains and biofilm formation are in high demand.

Advancements in high-throughput technology provide new opportunities for omics research to understand the pathological process of various complex human diseases. However, single-omics technologies only provide limited insights into the biological mechanisms of diseases.

This study aimed to evaluate the cholesterol-lowering mechanism of strain 132 and strain 201. These results showed that both the strains decreased serum total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglycerides (TG), liver TC and TG and increased fecal TC, TG and total bile acid (TBA) levels.

We applied metagenomics, pangenomics, and enzymology to determine the dominant glycoside hydrolase (GH) families of Bifidobacterium and designed selective medium for isolation. Pangenomics results showed that the GH13, GH3, GH42, and GH43 families were highly conserved in .

The aim of this meta-analysis was conducted to assess the effects of probiotics supplementation on glycemic, blood lipids, pressure and inflammatory control in type 2 diabetes. PubMed, Web of science, Embase and the Cochrane Library databases were searched for relevant studies from February 2015 up to Janurary 2020, with no language restrictions.
