Abstract Background and aims Alcohol remains a global risk factor for non-communicable diseases with the gut microbiome emerging as novel elucidator. We investigated how associates alcohol on population level, if there is mediation reflected in health outcomes, functional potential related. Methods Our sample consisted of 4575 shallow-shotgun sequenced fecal samples from FINRISK 2002 cohort (25-74yrs., 52.5% women). (g 100% alcohol/week) use was self-reported. Diversity differential species...

Population-based studies on the associations of plant-based foods, red meat or dairy with gut microbiome are scarce. We examined whether consumption foods (vegetables, potatoes, fruits, cereals), and processed (RPM) (fermented milk, cheese, other products) related to in Finnish adults.

Dyslipidemia is treated effectively with statins, but treatment has the potential to induce new-onset type-2 diabetes. Gut microbiota may contribute this outcome variability. We assessed associations of gut diversity and composition statins. Bacterial statin-associated diabetes (T2D) risk were also prospectively evaluated.

We assessed the intrastrain and interstrain variability of cytochrome P450 enzyme activities conjugation reactions different rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) strains. The study protocol was divided into two parts: in separate experiments, monooxygenase (7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase, EROD) (glutathione S-transferase, GST; UDP-glucuronosyl transferase, UDPGT) were measured from liver kidney samples commonly used breeds. In preliminary study, differences basal biotransformation detected...

Background and objectives: The consumption of fermented milk products has been considered beneficial for health. moderate use can also be part environmentally sustainable diets. Findings on gut microbiome associations, however, have inconsistent, studies conducted population-based samples are scarce. We examined whether the (e.g., yoghurt, buttermilk, curdled milk) is related to individual microbiota diversity (alpha diversity), compositional differences in (beta or bacterial species...
