- Pregnancy and infancy are critical periods for nutritional programming of metabolic health. Epigenetic changes such as DNA methylation seem to have a crucial role linking early-life nutrition to metabolic health across the life course. The aim of NutriPROGRAM was to identify early-life nutrition-related factors and related epigenetic pathways leading to metabolic adaptations and disease across the…
- Obesity promotes Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Diseases (NAFLD) through mechanisms involving the gut microbiota. From 2 cohorts of obese women (FLORINASH FP7), in which a multilevel omics approach was used, we identified a microbiome architecture indicating increased dietary lipids processing. This was associated with hepatic insulin signaling perturbations, a transcriptomic profile indicative of…
- Early life is fundamental for brain and microbiota development. Gut microbiota influences brain function. Maternal obesity affects maturation of gut microbiota and is an important predictor of cognitive dysfunction in the offspring. Cognitive decline through life is an increasingly invalidating condition, due to population ageing and the high frequency of predisposing factors (obesity, unhealthy…
- Background and aimHEALTHMARK investigated the complex associations between diet, microbiota, tryptophan metabolites of microbial metabolism, and metabolic health in a set-up of identification, replication, and validation of associations. The project, organized in five work packages (WP) comprised two observational and two intervention studies.In WP1, the University of Bonn (UB) using the DOrtmund…
- Exploring the effects of time-restricted feeding on the immune function of obese individuals: a multi-omic approach Image AbstractPathological conditions associated with unbalanced nutrient handling, such as obesity, are associated with maladapted immune responses that lead to increased susceptibility to…
- Background and aimIn recent decades, nutritional science and biomedicine have made enormous progress in the development of modern molecular and cellular research technologies. This has led to the awareness that health is a state of homeostasis, not only for our various eukaryotic cells, but also for the millions of living microorganisms that live in symbiosis on (e.g. skin) or in (e.g. gut) our…
- Sulfur amino acids, energy metabolism and obesity Image AbstractResearch over the last decade suggests that methionine and cysteine, two dietary sulfur amino acids that are abundant in proteins from animal sources, play a role in development of obesity and related metabolic diseases. In rodents, experiments with diets low in…
- Background and aim There is an urgent need to find reliable early biomarkers of the cardiometabolic syndrome (CardMetS) allowing intervention before irreversible damage develops while assessing the efficacy of nutritional prevention. Oxylipins could be relevant candidate biomarkers thanks to their involvement in the homeostatic regulation of various process related to the cardiometabolic status…
