The Utilisation of Prebiotics and Synbiotics in Dogs

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2014
The microbiota of the large intestine plays a fundamental role in maintaining the state of health of the gastrointestinal tract and the host. The use of specific dietary supplements such as prebiotics and synbiotics might positively influence the composition and metabolism of the intestinal microbial population.

Effect of Lactulose on the Intestinal Flora of Elderly Constipation Patients With Chronic Renal Insufficiency

AGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.
This study investigates the regulatory effects of lactulose and polyethylene glycol (PEG) on the composition of gut microbiota in elderly constipation patients with chronic renal insufficiency by comparing the changes in microbial abundance. Both lactulose and PEG significantly modulate the gut microbiota structure, though their specific mechanisms and

The Role of the Gut Microbiota in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo‐HCT) is an effective treatment for patients with high‐risk hematologic malignancies. Over the last decade, gut microbiota composition during allo‐HCT has been associated with patients' outcomes.

Exosome‐mediated gut–brain axis signaling in neurodegenerative diseases: Mechanisms, experimental evidence, and therapeutic perspectives—A narrative review

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The gut–brain axis is a bidirectional communication network between the intestines and brain, mediated by gut microbiota and exosomes, that regulates neuroinflammation, protein aggregation, and neuronal health processes central to neurodegenerative diseases.

Heat Stress and Gut Microbiome Dynamics in Poultry: Interplay, Consequences, and Mitigation Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Heat stress disrupts gut microbial balance in poultry, impairing nutrient absorption and immunity. This review outlines the interplay between thermal stress and microbiome dynamics and discusses integrative mitigation strategies, probiotics, phytogenics, cooling systems, and genetic adaptation to enhance poultry resilience.

Ginseng polysaccharides prevent mastitis through Lactobacillus murinus‐derived deoxycholic acid and TGR5 signaling

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Prebiotic Ginseng polysaccharides (GP) alleviate mastitis through selective enrichment of gut L. murinus, which elevates its anti‐inflammatory metabolite deoxycholic acid (DCA). Circulating DCA engages mammary epithelial TGR5 receptors, triggering the cAMP–PKA pathway to suppress NF‐κB/NLRP3‐mediated inflammation.
