Unveiling the Relationship Between Oral Microbiota and Alzheimer's Disease: A Genetic Instrumental Variable Analysis via Mendelian Randomization. [PDF]

Brain Behav
This study investigated the association between oral microbiota (OM) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). The causal relationship between OM and AD was established using Mendelian randomization (MR) methods and further supported by gene function analyses. ABSTRACT Background: The potential relationship between oral microbiota (OM) and Alzheimer's disease (AD)

Movement ecology and sex are linked to barn owl microbial community composition. [PDF]

, 2020
The behavioural ecology of host species is likely to affect their microbial communities, because host sex, diet, physiology, and movement behaviour could all potentially influence their microbiota.

Prediction of Gut Microbial Community Structure and Function in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome With High Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021
Gut microbiota has been proved to be involved in the occurrence and development of many diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, coronary heart disease, etcetera. It provides a new idea for the pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Gut microbiota alterations may increase the risk of prescription opioid use, but not vice versa: A two-sample bi-directional Mendelian randomization study

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
IntroductionGut microbiota alterations are strongly associated with prescription opioid use (POU) and multisite chronic pain (MCP). However, whether or not these associations are causal remains unknown.
