Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a major public health problem, and gut microbiota dysbiosis has been implicated in the emergence of T2D humans. Dietary interventions can indirectly influence status patients with type through their modulatory effects on intestinal microbiota. In recent years, fecal transplantation becoming familiar as new medical treatment that rapidly improve health. We conducted 90-day controlled open-label trial to evaluate improvement ability specially designed diet, diet...

Although the direct effects of dietary fiber on gut microbiota composition have been studied extensively, systematic evaluation different sources health and inflammatory responses sows their offspring has rarely conducted. Excessive reactive oxygen species produced by overactive metabolic processes during late pregnancy lactation leads to increased endotoxin levels, disordered microbiota, decreased SCFA production, secretion proinflammatory factors, which in turn causes local inflammation...

Weaning of piglets is accompanied by intestinal inflammation, impaired barrier function, and microflora disorder. Regulating structure can directly or indirectly affect health host growth development. However, whether dietary fiber (DF) affects the inflammatory response function affecting its metabolites unclear. In this study, we investigated role in relieving immune stress maintaining homeostasis using with lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced injury as a model. DF improved morphology...

With increasing demand for high-quality pork, development of green and healthy feed finishing pigs is urgently needed. In this study, the effects mechanisms mulberry paper silages on growth performance, meat quality, intestinal health were explored. Intestinal microbiota profiled, microbially produced short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) measured. The average daily gain (ADG) conversion rate (FCR) with not significantly different from those control. Meat quality as measured by pork marbling in...

ABSTRACT The gut microbiota contributes to skeletal muscle energy metabolism and is an indirect factor affecting meat quality. However, the role of specific microbes in fiber size chickens remains largely unknown. In this study, we first performed cecal transplantation from Chinese indigenous Jingyuan (JY) Arbor Acres (AA), determine effects on metabolism. Then, used metagenomics, gas chromatography, metabolomics analysis identify functional microbes. Finally, validated these regulating via...

Alginate lyases show great potential for industrial and medicinal applications, especially as an attractive biocatalyst the production of oligosaccharides with special bioactivities. A novel alginate lyase, AlyH1, from marine bacterium Vibrio furnissii H1, which has been newly isolated rotten seaweed, was purified characterized. The enzyme showed specific activity 2.40 U/mg. Its molecular mass 35.8 kDa. optimal temperature pH were 40 °C 7.5, respectively. AlyH1 maintained stability at...

Antibiotics are widely used in gastrointestinal diseases meat rabbit breeding, which causes safety problems for products. Dietary fiber can regulate the gut microbiota of rabbits, but mechanism improving quality is largely unknown. The objective this study was to evaluate effects adding different sources diets on growth performance, composition, and muscle metabolite composition rabbits. A total 18 New Zealand white rabbits similar weight (40 ± 1 day old) were randomly assigned beet pulp...

This study aimed to evaluate different roughages on fatting performance, muscle fatty acids, rumen fermentation and microbes of steers. Seventy-five Simmental crossbred steers were randomly divided into wheat straw group (WG), peanut vine (PG) alfalfa hay (AG), with 5 replicates each. The results showed a highest average daily gain lowest feed/gain ratio in AG ( P = 0.001). Steers fed had the marbling score n-3 polyunsaturated acid (PUFA), also NH 3 -N microbial protein (MCP) concentration...

Background Nitrilase is an important member of the nitrilase superfamiliy. It has attracted substantial interest from academia and industry for its function converting nitriles directly into corresponding carboxylic acids in recent years. Thus played a crucial role production commercial chemical detoxification nitrile-contaminated wastes. However, conventional studies mainly focused on bacterial potential fungal been far being fully explored. Research gene expression will advance our...
