Post-infectious myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (PI-ME/CFS) is a disabling disorder, yet the clinical phenotype poorly defined, pathophysiology unknown, and no disease-modifying treatments are available. We used rigorous criteria to recruit PI-ME/CFS participants with matched controls conduct deep phenotyping. Among many physical cognitive complaints, one defining feature of was an alteration effort preference, rather than or central fatigue, due dysfunction integrative...
Abstract Background The aim was to study the seasonal microbial diversity variations of an athalassohaline environment with a high concentration sulfates in Tirez lagoon (La Mancha, Spain). Despite interest these types environments there is scarce information about their ecology, especially on anoxic sediments. Results We report water column and sediments highly sulfated using both molecular conventional microbiological methods. Algae Cyanobacteria were main photosynthetic primary producers...
Abstract A relationship between the gut microbiome and alcohol use disorder has been suggested. Excessive produces changes in fecal metabolome both rodents humans. Yet, these can be observed only a subgroup of studied populations, reversal does not always occur after abstinence. We aimed to analyze microbial composition function translationally relevant baboon model chronic heavy drinking that also meets binge criteria (drinking too much, fast, often), i.e., ~1 g/kg blood levels (BALs) ≥...
Background Plausible phenotype mechanisms following bariatric surgery include changes in neural and gastrointestinal physiology. This pilot study aims to investigate individual combined neurologic, gut microbiome, plasma hormone pre- versus post-vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), medical weight loss (MWL). We hypothesized post-weight would be associated with central reward system brain connectivity, differences postprandial responses, increased microbiome...
Individuals with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) typically have comorbid chronic health conditions, including anxiety and depression disorders, increased sleep disruption, poor nutrition status, along gut microbial dysbiosis. To better understand the effects of dysbiosis previously shown in individuals AUD, microbiome metabolome were investigated between three cohorts. Two groups AUD included treatment-seeking newly abstinent for at least six weeks (AB: N = 10) non-treatment-seeking currently...
Introduction The consumption of probiotics may influence children’s gut microbiome and metabolome, which reflect shifts in microbial diversity composition metabolism. These potential changes might have a beneficial impact on health. However, there is lack evidence investigating the effect metabolome children. We aimed to examine two ( Streptococcus thermophilus Lactobacillus delbrueckii ; S2) vs. three (S2 + Bifidobacterium animalis subsp . lactis strain BB-12) strain-supplemented yogurt....
Background: Obesity plays a major role in the development of insulin resistance (IR) and diabetes (T2DM). Increased adipose tissue (AT) is particularly interest because it activates chronic inflammatory response adipocytes other tissues. AT key endocrine metabolic functions, acting regulation sensitivity energy homeostasis. Additionally, can be easily collected during bariatric surgery. The purpose this pilot study was to explore potential differences metabolism, through comparing untargeted...
