Background Gut microbiota, by influencing multiple metabolic processes in the host, is an important determinant of human health and disease. However, gut dysbiosis associated with complications shows inconsistent patterns. This likely driven factors shaping microbial composition that have largely been under-evaluated, at a population level, school-age children, especially from developing countries.Results Through characterization, 16S sequencing, largest population-based school-aged children...
Understanding the dynamic relationship between mucus-associated microbiota and host health is critical. However, studies predominantly using stool samples may not accurately represent these bacterial communities. Here, we investigated in gastrointestinal tract of mice terminal ileum humans different sample types: mucosal washes, brushes, scrapings, intestinal contents biopsies, brushes washes humans. We used DNA quantification 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing to evaluate comparability...
Una de las estrategias que más impacto y mayor eficacia tiene para la modulación microbiota intestinal es el consumo fibra dietaria, puede ser digerida por propia generando numerosos metabolitos. Entre estos, se encuentran los ácidos grasos cadena corta (AGCC) con funciones tanto locales como sistémicas, impactan en composición función lo salud humana. El objetivo esta revisión narrativa fue generar un documento sirva marco referencia conocer acerca dietaria sus efectos directos e...
Dietary fiber (DF) is a major substrate for the gut microbiota that contributes to metabolic health. Recent studies have shown diet-metabolic phenotype effect might be related individual microbial profiles or enterotypes. Thus, aim of this study was examine whether enterotypes modify association between DF intake and traits. This cross-sectional included 204 children (6-12 years old) 75 adults (18-60 old). Habitual estimated with Food Frequency Questionnaire biochemical, clinical...
Abstract Exploring the dynamic relationship between mucus-associated microbiota and host health is pivotal, yet prevalent studies using stool samples may not accurately represent these bacteria. Here, we explored in gastrointestinal tract of mice terminal ileum humans, three different sample types: mucosal washes, scraping, intestinal content biopsies washes humans. We employed DNA quantification 16S rRNA sequencing to assess how comparable information yielded from types, evaluating findings...
Background Diet has been considered as a major modifiable factor influencing gut microbiota composition and function. However this knowledge arises mainly from intervention studies in humans animal models, where drastic changes diet are made. In addition, it is important to study the not only at nutrient level but through food groups that comprise it, since takes into account integrity. Yet there insufficient evidence observational addressing how consumption of certain can influence...
