Serotonin (5-HT) produced by enterochromaffin (EC) cells in the digestive tract is crucial for maintaining gut function and homeostasis. Nutritional and non-nutritional stimuli in the gut lumen can modulate the ability of EC cells to produce 5-HT in a temporal- and spatial-specific manner that toning gut physiology and immune response. Of particular interest, the interactions between dietary factors and the gut microbiota exert distinct impacts on gut 5-HT homeostasis and signaling in metabolism and the gut immune response. However, the underlying mechanisms need to be unraveled. This review aims to summarize and discuss the importance of gut 5-HT homeostasis and its regulation in maintaining gut metabolism and immune function in health and disease with special emphasis on different types of nutrients, dietary supplements, processing, and gut microbiota. Cutting-edge discoveries in this area will provide the basis for the development of new nutritional and pharmaceutical strategies for the prevention and treatment of serotonin homeostasis-related gut and systematic disorders and diseases.

is a dominant member of the human gut microbiome and produces short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). These promote immune system function and inhibit inflammation, making this microbe important for human health. Lactate is a primary source of gut SCFAs but its utilization by has not been explored.

The ARCR_Pred study was initiated to document and predict the safety and effectiveness of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) in a representative Swiss patient cohort. In the present manuscript, we aimed to describe the overall and baseline characteristics of the study, report on functional outcome data and explore case-mix adjustment and differences between public and private hospitals. Between June 2020 and November 2021, primary ARCR patients were prospectively enrolled in a multicenter cohort across 18 Swiss and one German orthopedic center.

Modern treatment, a healthy diet, and physical activity routines lower the risk factors for metabolic syndrome; however, this condition is associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality worldwide. This investigation involved a randomized controlled trial, double-blind, parallel study. Fifty-eight participants with risk factors of metabolic syndrome according to the inclusion criteria were randomized into two groups and given probiotics (Lacticaseibacillus paracasei MSMC39-1 and Bifidobacterium animalis TA-1) (n = 31) or a placebo (n = 27).

Older individuals experience increased susceptibility and mortality to bacterial infections, but the underlying etiology remains unclear. Herein, it is shown that aging-associated reduction of commensal Parabacteroides goldsteinii (P. goldsteinii) in both aged mice and humans critically contributes to worse outcomes of bacterial infection.
