Objective The consumption of fruits is strongly associated with better health and higher bacterial diversity in the gut microbiota (GM). Camu camu ( Myrciaria dubia ) an Amazonian fruit a unique phytochemical profile, strong antioxidant potential purported anti-inflammatory potential. Design By using metabolic tests coupled 16S rRNA gene-based taxonomic profiling faecal microbial transplantation (FMT), we have assessed effect crude extract (CC) on obesity immunometabolic disorders high...
Animal models of human diseases are classically fed purified diets that contain casein as the unique protein source. We show provision a mixed source mirroring found in western diet exacerbates diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance by potentiating hepatic mTORC1/S6K1 signaling compared to alone. These effects involve alterations gut microbiota shown fecal transplantation studies. The detrimental impact is also linked with early changes microbial production branched-chain fatty acids...
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) ecology-pathophysiology from the gut reservoir to its urothelium infection site is poorly understood, resulting in equivocal benefits use of cranberry as prophylaxis against urinary tract infections. To add further understanding previous findings on PAC antiadhesive properties UPEC, we assessed this study effects proanthocyanidins (PAC) rich extract microbial metabolites UTI89 virulence and fitness contrasting ecological UPEC's environments. For purpose,...
Abstract The extended endocannabinoid system, also termed endocannabinoidome, participates in multiple metabolic functions health and disease. Physical activity can both have an acute chronic impact on mediators, as does diet. In this crossover randomized controlled study, we investigated the influence of diet peripheral response to maximal aerobic exercise a sample active adult women (n = 7) with no underlying conditions. We compared 7-day standardized Mediterranean (MedDiet) control...
Our study aimed to investigate the impact of various emulsifiers, namely whey protein isolate (WPI), soy (SPI), and Tween 80 (Tw), on their ability encapsulate cannabis oil with maltodextrin as wall material. The physicochemical properties powder, stability cannabinoids, bioaccessibility during static in vitro digestion were examined. average diameter fat globules liquid nanoemulsions was 170, 259, 95 nm for WPI, SPI, Tw, respectively. encapsulation efficiency high emulsifiers (>95%)...
Introduction: A thorough understanding of the microbial ecology within swine value chain is essential to develop new strategies optimize microbiological quality pork products. To our knowledge, no study date has followed microbiota through from live farm animals cuts meat obtained for market. The objective this evaluate how pigs and their environment influence composition samples collected throughout chain, including plant cuts. Method results: Results 16S rDNA sequencing, short-chain fatty...
