Selenium Modulated Gut Flora and Promoted Decomposition of Methylmercury in Methylmercury-Poisoned Rats

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2019
INTRODUCTION Selenium plays important roles in antagonizing the toxicity of methylmercury. The underlying mechanism for the antagonism between Se and MeHg is still not fully understood.

Inhibition of Metarhizium anisopliae by the Gut Bacterial Flora of the Desert Locust, Schistocerca gregaria: Evidence for an Antifungal Toxin

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 1986
A study has been made on the effects of the gut of the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria, on germination and viability of conidia of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae.

The Metabolism of Drugs by the Gut Flora

European Journal of Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics, 1994
Gut flora and gut contents can be considered as a system with huge metabolic capacity, qualitatively and quantitatively different from the body cells and organs. That system changes along with life and nutrition, but despite broad investigation has not yet been defined satisfactorily.

Overview of gut flora and probiotics

International Journal of Food Microbiology, 1998
Scientific developments in recent years have opened new frontiers and enable a better understanding of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) as a complex and delicately balanced ecosystem. This paper focuses on more recent information related to the microbial population of the GIT and its functional role in human physiology and health.

THE GUT FLORA OF THE CHICK. II. THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE FLORA

Journal of Applied Bacteriology, 1956
SUMMARY: Viable counts were made in three media of material from the crop, gizzard, duodenum, ileum and caeca of chicks. Groups of birds 2, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16 and 30 days old were studied. The results showed that a balanced gut flora is established one day after feeding.

Role of gut flora in the genotoxicity of dinitrotoluene

Nature, 1982
Dinitrotoluene (DNT), an important industrial nitroaromatic compound, is a potent hepatocarcinogen in rats. Male Fischer-334 rats fed technical-grade DNT in the diet for 12 months showed a 100% incidence of hepatocellular carcinomas1. However, various in vitro and in vivo short-term tests using several genotoxic end points have failed to show activity ...

Gut Flora in Normal and Disordered States

Chemotherapy, 2009
Infections of the gastrointestinal tract are a major health problem for both adults and children worldwide. Changes in the normal human gut microflora result in the development of intestinal disorders. Pathogenic bacteria alter the intestinal microecology and intestinal colonization resistance.

Inflammasomes and gut flora

Science, 2017
Microbiome A large proportion of our immune system resides in the gut. Inflammasomes are host molecular complexes that sense danger and activate immune responses to food-related signals and foreign pathogens. Studies in mice have suggested that Nlrp6-ASC inflammasomes influence gut flora composition and susceptibility to obesity, colon inflammation ...

Altered gut Flora in uremia

Journal of Renal Nutrition, 1996
The objective of this review is to show the influence of altered gut flora in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF). This flora produces toxic metabolites that can be reduced by a biological intervention that acts through modification of bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine.

Role of the Gut Flora in Human Nutrition and Gut Health

2020
The human gastrointestinal (GI) tract is home to an immense number of microbe species that are constantly interacting with each other and with the host’s cells. This ecosystem, composed of bacteria, fungi, archaea, viruses, and the host’s cells, has been found to play an important role in maintaining the overall health of the host.
