Gut Microbiota-derived Bile Acids Promote Gamma-secretase Activity Through Interactions with Nicastrin Subunits [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Alzheimer's disease (AD) has emerged as a progressively pervasive neurodegenerative disorder worldwide. Bile acids, synthesized in the liver and modified by the gut microbiota, play pivotal roles in diverse physiological processes, and their dysregulation in individuals with AD has been well-documented.

Global metabolic interaction network of the human gut microbiota for context-specific community-scale analysis [PDF]
Nat. Commun. 8, 15393 (2017), 2017 A system-level framework of complex microbe-microbe and host-microbe chemical cross-talk would help elucidate the role of our gut microbiota in health and disease. Here we report a literature-curated interspecies network of the human gut microbiota, called NJS16.

The impact of the microbiome in cancer: Targeting metabolism of cancer cells and host
Frontiers in Oncology, 2022 Abnormal metabolic alterations of cancer cells and the host play critical roles in the occurrence and development of tumors. Targeting cancer cells and host metabolism can provide novel diagnosis indicators and intervention targets for tumors.

Pasture Intake Protects Against Commercial Diet-induced Lipopolysaccharide Production Facilitated by Gut Microbiota through Activating Intestinal Alkaline Phosphatase Enzyme in Meat Geese [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 In-house feeding system (IHF, a low dietary fiber source) may cause altered cecal microbiota composition and inflammatory responses in meat geese via increased endotoxemia (lipopolysaccharides) with reduced intestinal alkaline phosphatase (ALP) production. The effects of artificial pasture grazing system (AGF, a high dietary fiber source) on modulating

Gut Dysbiosis and Neurobehavioral Alterations in Rats Exposed to Silver Nanoparticles [PDF]
Scientific Reports 7, Article number: 2822 (2017), 2017 Due to their antimicrobial properties, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are being used in non-edible and edible consumer products. It is not clear though if exposure to these chemicals can exert toxic effects on the host and gut microbiome. Conflicting studies have been reported on whether AgNPs result in gut dysbiosis and other changes within the host. We

Sex-dependent effects of a high-fat diet on the hypothalamic response in mice
Biology of Sex DifferencesSex differences in rodent models of diet-induced obesity are still poorly documented, particularly regarding how central mechanisms vary between sexes in response to an obesogenic diet.

A mathematical model of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, Methanobrevibacter smithii, and Eubacterium rectale interactions in the human gut [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The human gut microbiota is a complex ecosystem that affects a range of human physiology. In order to explore the dynamics of the human gut microbiota, we used a system of ordinary differential equations to model mathematically the biomass of three microorganism populations: $\textit{Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron}$, $\textit{Eubacterium rectale}$, and $\
