Gut flora

In the past decade, many studies have been conducted to investigate the role of probiotics in the prevention and treatment of disease, with mixed results being reported on the efficacy of probiotics11. In addition, probiotics have become increasingly popular with more and more probiotic products released on the market every year. Specifically, they are available as capsules and dairy based food supplements (especially yogurt) sold in health food stores and supermarkets. Despite the many health…

What is the relationship between oral and gut microbiome and arthritis disease? The term microbiome or microbiota is defined by Joshua Lederberg (scientist worked in genetic microbiome); these organisms are found in the skin or mucus membrane. They have the ability to extract the necessary energy to stay live. The host utilizes them for digestion, production of nutrients, removal of toxins, attacks on pathogens and to strengthen the immune system (Scher and Abramson, 2011). The Human…

Role of gut microbiota in therapeutic effect of metabolic disorder Diet has been known to regulate the component of intestinal microbes in animal and human subjects. Many trials tried to find out the interaction between the gut microbiota and its host metabolism. They attempted to modulate the dietary to alter different kinds of classical probiotics such as Lactobacillus and Bifobacterium strains and prebiotic for helping to explore the role of gut microbiota in therapeutic effects of metabolic…

understanding of the metabolism of less body fat. This information helped in building an explicit comprehension of the research biological mechanism. Ding, et al, (2010) provided beneficial information about the role of lipoprotein, adipose factor, gut bacteria in the body. Additionally, more reliable and constructed approach to prove and connect the hypothesis was provided. For example, they mentioned different researches that indicated high level of fat diet is associated with lower…

Lactobacillus is the most commonly used bacterial species (Swyers et al. 2008). A study conducted by Al Jassim et al. recorded that several species of Lactobacillus were located throughout the equine gastrointestinal tract. This concludes that these microbes have the ability to adapt to pH changes and survive in different environments. L. mucosae and L. salivarius were found to be the most abundant. L. salivarius, specifically, was cultured from the stomach, colon, and rectum, suggesting its…

variability of the human gut microbiome and its effect on health Abstract The human gut microbiome consists of a wide range of microbes such as bacteria, fungi and archaea which can be found in the gastrointestinal tract. This gut microbiome can have both beneficial and harmful effects on the host. On one hand, it is involved in processes such as modulation of the immune system and metabolism which are beneficial for the human host. On the other hand, an imbalance in the gut microbiome could be…

the concept that the gut microbiota communicates with the brain and other organs in the body. Studies have shown that he gut and the central nervous system (CNS) are closely linked and play a role in maintaining homeostasis (Cryan and O’Mahony, 2011). Any changes that decrease the “good” bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract can cause diseases to neuroendocrine and immune system (Cryan and O’Mahony, 2011). Stress is also known to alter the composition and total population of gut microbiota…

Heal Leaky Gut Syndrome Naturally If you 're living with autoimmune disease, allergies, or chronic pain, these conditions could be your body 's way of telling you that you have leaky gut syndrome. Under ordinary circumstances, your gut has just enough permeability to allow the absorption of vital nutrients. However, certain dietary and environmental factors can greatly increase your intestinal permeability, allowing bacteria, undigested food, microbes, and candida to leak into the rest of…

Review: Alterations in the Gut Microbiome caused by Consumption of Non-Digestible Carbohydrates Counteractive Effects on Diet-Induced-Obesity For the first time in human, the number of fatalities related to obesity outnumber those caused by malnutrition (World Health Organization [WHO] 2015). This troubling fact is followed by a second, equally concerning one, that being, for the first time in United States’s history, the next generation is predicted to have a shorter life expectancy than the…

corynebacteria, and 1010 found in the mouth, primarily, streptococci, lactobacilli.1 But the majority of the bacteria, more than 400 species are found in the gut with approximately 1014, composed primarily of Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes, and in smaller amounts, Proteobacteria, Verrucomicrobia, Actinobacteria, Fusobacteria, and Cyanobacteria. Gut microflora are essential in digestion, vitamin production and immunity.2 Classifying these microbiota is imperative as it allows the interpretation of…
