- Background and aim:Studies suggest that the intestinal microbiome modulates the risk of several chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, allergy, cardiovascular disease, and colorectal cancer (CRC). Dietary factors are related to chronic disease risk, and they have been suggested to modulate the composition and function of the gut microbiome. However, detailed knowledge on the relationship of…
- The DINAMIC project investigates the interplay between diet, the gut microbiota, and the host in the context of cardiometabolic health. Using state-of-the-art prospective human cohorts, microbiota profiling allows the consortium to identify specific features associated with disease states. Clinical trials based on dietary interventions and fecal microbiota transplantation were designed and are…
- 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…
- Background and aimAccording to the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease hypothesis early life exposure to environmental factors plays a critical role in defining offspring health in childhood and later life. Thus adaptation to suboptimal nutrition during pregnancy or early childhood may perpetuate intergenerational transmission of a range of adverse health outcomes. Epigenetic phenomena…
- An increased intestinal permeability (IP), also known as leaky gut, could be responsible for activation of the immune system and inflammation, a common mechanism in many chronic age-related diseases. The MaPLE project tested the hypothesis that an increased intake of polyphenol-rich foods can reduce IP and the quantity of inflammogenic bacterial factors in the bloodstream, promoting a protective…
- Background and aimBile acids (BA) through G protein-coupled bile acid receptor 1 (GPBAR1 or TGR5) and nuclear receptors like Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) regulate mammalian inflammation, and lipid, glucose, energy, and xenobiotic metabolism. The gut microbiota modulates the enterohepatic circulation of BA and microbially produced secondary BA appear to be more potent receptor agonists than primary…
