Higher Dietary Index for Gut Microbiota (DI‐GM) scores, derived from NHANES dietary recalls, were associated with a 23.8% lower Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) risk (OR: 0.762, 95% CI: 0590–0.986), with a linear relationship (p‐nonlinearity = 0.209). DI‐GM outperformed HEI‐2015 and DASH in predicting NAFLD (AUC: 0.867 vs.

Pollutant‐induced epithelial damage also leads to a cascade of harmful effects, including reduced mucus secretion, decreased luminal pH, and enhanced absorption of toxins. These changes contribute to oxidative stress (↑ malondialdehyde (MDA); ↓ superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and heightened ...

Probiotic Intervention in the Management of Urolithiasis: A Pathway to Gut Microbiome Modulation
Urolithiasis, or kidney stone disease, is a chronic, recurrent disorder that significantly impacts renal health. Despite the availability of pharmacological and dietary strategies, recurrence of urolithiasis remains a major challenge. Emerging research highlights the gut–kidney axis as a critical mediator in kidney stone pathophysiology, particularly ...

Structural Microheterogeneity of Kefiran from Kefir Grains
ケフィール粒由来,ケフィランの構造は,既に,KOOIMANにより提示されている.しかし,メチル化分析の結果,彼の示した構造には,みられない6-O置換ガラクトースの存在が明らかとなったため,ケフィランの構造を再検討した.ケフィランをTrichodermareesei由来セルラーゼで,加水分解すると,グルコースと五糖のみが遊離した.その五糖の構造は,メチル化分析および13C-n. m. r.分析によって,β-D-Glc-(1→2)-β-D-Gal-(1→4)-α-D-Gal-(1→3)-D-Gal(1→4)-D-Glcと解明され,これは,KOOIMAN3)の提示したケフィロースの構造と一致した.しかしながら,ケフィランのメチル化分析と,13C-n. m.

Preservation of Kefir Grains, a Comparative Study
Abstract The microflora of kefir grains of household origin was isolated and identified. At least two lactococci, two lactobacilli, two yeast and one mould were detected. Different methods for kefir grain preservation were studied. Metabolic activity of grains preserved frozen at −20 °C and −80 °C and grains stored at 4 °C was evaluated.

Yeasts from kefir grains: isolation, identification, and probiotic characterization
Kefir-a traditional beverage whose consumption has been associated with health benefits-is a logical natural product to investigate for new probiotic strains. The aim of the present work was to isolate and identify kefir yeasts and select those with acid and bile tolerance to study their adhesion to epithelial cells and their transit through mouse gut.
