We investigated the hyperlipidemic effect of different doses of lotus seed resistant starch (low-, medium and high-dose LRS, named as LLRS, MLRS and HLRS, respectively) in hyperlipidemic mice using gut microbiota-metabolic axis compared to high-fat diet mice (model control group, MC). Allobaculum was significantly decreased in LRS groups compared to MC group, while MLRS promoted the abundance of norank_f_Muribaculaceae and norank_f_Erysipelotrichaceae. Moreover, supplementation of LRS promoted cholic acid (CA) production and inhibited deoxycholic acid compared to MC group. Among, LLRS promoted formic acid, MLRS inhibited 20-Carboxy-leukotriene B4, while HLRS promoted 3, 4-Methyleneazelaic acid and inhibited Oleic acid and Malic acid. Finally, MLRS regulate microbiota composition, and this promoted cholesterol catabolism to form CA, which inhibited serum lipid index by gut microbiota-metabolic axis. In conclusion, MLRS can promote CA and inhibit medium chain fatty acids, so as to play the best role in lowering blood lipids in hyperlipidemia mice.

Background: Recent studies have indicated the role of the gut microbiota in the progression of osteoarticular diseases, however, the causal relationship between the gut microbiota and pyogenic arthritis remains unclear. There is also a lack of theoretical basis for the application of the gut microbiota in the treatment of pyogenic arthritis.

Methods: In our study, we utilized the largest genome-wide association study (GWAS) data from the MiBioGen Consortium involving 13,400 participants and extracted summary statistical data of the microbiota metabolic pathways of 7,738 participants of European descent from the Dutch Microbiome Project (DMP) The data of pyogenic arthritis were derived from the FinnGen R10 database, including 1,086 patients and 147,221 controls.

Sulfur, a critical element for bacterial growth, is not directly utilized by bifidobacteria, rendering the sulfur-containing amino acid biosynthesis pathway, particularly for cysteine and methionine, poorly understood. This research identifies six genes involved in this pathway through re-annotation of the DJO10A genome. These genes play crucial roles in bioconversion processes essential for cysteine utilization, highlighting its significance in sulfur metabolism.

Article Synopsis
  • * The study analyzed fecal samples from healthy controls, LTBI, and ATB patients, finding significant differences in gut bacterial diversity and microbial communities, with ATB patients showing notably reduced bacterial diversity.
  • * Additionally, metabolic pathways related to purine and pyrimidine degradation were upregulated in LTBI and ATB patients, with specific metabolites identified that could distinguish between LTBI and healthy controls, indicating a link between gut microbiome changes and LTBI pathogenesis.

Effects of Interactions between Feeding Patterns and the Gut Microbiota on Pig Reproductive Performance.

Animals (Basel)

September 2024

The feeding mode is an important factor affecting the reproductive performance of pigs. The composition and expression of the intestinal microbiota are closely related to the physiological and biochemical indicators of animals. Therefore, to explore the impact of different feeding patterns on the reproductive performance of pigs, this study collected reproductive performance data from 1607 Yorkshire pigs raised under different feeding patterns and conducted a fixed-effect variance analysis.

GV-971 prevents severe acute pancreatitis by remodeling the microbiota-metabolic-immune axis.

Despite recent advances, severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) remains a lethal inflammation with limited treatment options. Here, we provide compelling evidence of GV-971 (sodium oligomannate), an anti-Alzheimer's medication, as being a protective agent in various male mouse SAP models. Microbiome sequencing, along with intestinal microbiota transplantation and mass cytometry technology, unveil that GV-971 reshapes the gut microbiota, increasing Faecalibacterium populations and modulating both peripheral and intestinal immune systems.
