- 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…
- Metabolic disorders such as obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) represent a growing unmet clinical need. Accumulating evidence shows that the collection of microbes residing within the human intestinal tract influence host metabolism. Diet is one of the most important factors shaping the gut microbiome. So far, mainly microbial metabolism of dietary fibers has been studied, with less emphasis on…
- BackgroundChildhood obesity is a rapidly growing problem in many countries across the world. Weight loss programs have limited effects and prevention is our only hope to stem this new epidemic. Development in the early life period has lifelong consequences. Early visceral fat mass development, in particular, is thought to have long-term effects on later body fat mass and fat distribution, and thus…
- The effect of diet on immune and vaccine responses in people living with obesity in transitioning communities Image AbstractPeople living with obesity have multiple impairments in the host immune response, which is associated with a higher risk for severe infectious diseases and reduced efficacy of vaccines…
- Background and aimThe human gut microbiota is a complex ecosystem consisting of hundreds to thousands of distinct bacterial species which provide important immune, metabolic and trophic functions for their host. Our knowledge on the processes contributing to microbial dysbiosis has a direct impact on our ability to manage and maintain human health. Early childhood appears a crucial age-window…
- The main objectives of the OCTOPUS project were:to determine, in mouse models, to what extent apoA-I/HDL modulate gut microbiota composition, intestinal homeostasis/immunity, plasma metabolome and atherosclerosis development.to determine whether apoA-I/HDL levels modulate gut microbiota composition and plasma metabolome in human cohorts, and to identify possible correlations between microbiota…
- 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…
- The human gut microbiota has been linked with incidence and progression of noncommunicable diseases and their riskfactors. Moreover, diet has been identified as an important modulator of microbiota composition and function, but responsesvary across individuals.DiGuMet aimed to explore how gut microbiota interacts with diet and the role of such interactions for cardiometabolic diseaserisk and to…
- The aged brain is particularly vulnerable to stress-induced cognitive decline and will benefit tremendously from mechanistically-oriented dietary interventions to attenuate such cognitive impairment and to provide a general boost to brain health. Moreover, cognitive decline is increasingly present in the ageing population, who are living with chronic diseases and subjected to elevated levels of…
