Epub 2018 Feb 22. PMID: 29470389 Abstract Title:  A Walnut-Enriched Diet Affects Gut Microbiome in Healthy Caucasian Subjects: A Randomized, Controlled Trial. Abstract:  Regular walnut consumption is associated with better health. We have previously shown that eight weeks of walnut consumption (43 g/day) significantly improves lipids in healthy subjects. In the same study, gut microbiome was evaluated. We included 194 healthy subjects (134 females, 63± 7 years, BMI 25.1 ± 4.0 kg/m²) in a randomized, controlled, prospective, cross-over study. Following a nut-free run-in period, subjects were randomized to two diet phases (eight weeks each); 96 subjects first followed a walnut-enriched diet (43 g/day) and then switched to a nut-free diet, while98 subjects followed the diets in reverse order. While consuming the walnut-enriched diet, subjects were advised to either reduce fat or carbohydrates or both to account for the additional calories. Fecal samples were collected from 135 subjects at the end of the walnut-diet and the control-diet period for microbiome analyses. The 16S rRNA gene sequencing data was clustered with a 97% similarity into Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs). UniFrac distances were used to determine diversity between groups. Differential abundance was evaluated using the Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test. All analyses were performed using Rhea. Generalized UniFrac distance shows that walnut consumption significantly affects microbiome composition and diversity. Multidimensional scaling (metric and non-metric) indicates dissimilarities of approximately 5% between walnut and control (= 0.02). The abundance ofandincreased significantly (&lt;0.02) whilesp. cluster XIVa species (;) decreased significantly (&lt;0.05) during walnut consumption. The effect of walnut consumption on the microbiome only marginally depended on whether subjects replaced fat, carbohydrates or both while on walnuts. Daily intake of 43 g walnuts over eight weeks significantly affects the gut microbiome by enhancing probiotic- and butyric acid-producing species in healthy individuals. Further evaluation is required to establish whether these changes are preserved during longer walnut consumption and how these are linked to the observed changes in lipid metabolism. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/walnut-enriched-diet-affects-gut-microbiome-healthy-caucasian-subjects#comments Probiotics Walnut Gastrointestinal Agents Gastrointestinal Agents Microbiome probiotics Walnut Human Study Fri, 09 Mar 2018 05:12:52 +0000 greenmedinfo 160961 at https://greenmedinfo.com Could Probiotics Be the Potent Antidepressant You've Been Looking For? https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/could-probiotics-be-potent-antidepressant-youve-been-looking <div class="copyright">This article is copyrighted by GreenMedInfo LLC, 2019<br/><strong><a href="/greenmedinfocom-re-post-guidelines">Visit our Re-post guidelines</a></strong></div><p class="rtecenter"><img alt="" src="//cdn.greenmedinfo.com/sites/default/files/ckeditor/blank.justin/images/Probiotics.jpg" /></p> <p><span style="font-size:18px;"><em><strong>It has long been established that gut bacteria are largely connected to immune function and metabolic health.

PMID: 21840806 Abstract Title:  Probiotics lower plasma glucose in the high-fat fed C57BL/6J mouse. Abstract:  Today, the gut microbiota is considered a key organ in host nutritional metabolism and recent data have suggested that alterations in gut microbiota contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes and obesity. Accordingly, a whole range of beneficial effects relating to inflammation and gut health have been observed following administration of probiotics to both humans and different animal models. The objective of this study was to evaluate the metabolic effects of an oral probiotic supplement, Lactobacillus plantarum DSM 15313, to high-fat diet (HFD) fed C57BL/6J mice, a model of human obesity and early diabetes. The mice were fed the experimental diets for 20 weeks, after which the HFD had induced an insulin-resistant state in both groups compared to the start of the study. The increase in body weight during the HFD feeding was higher in the probiotic group than in the control group, however, there were no significant differences in body fat content. Fasting plasma glucose levels were lower in the group fed the probiotic supplement, whereas insulin and lipids were not different. Caecal levels of short-chain fatty acids were not significantly different between the groups. An oral glucose tolerance test showed that the group fed probiotics had a significantly lower insulin release compared to the control group, although the rate of glucose clearance was not different. Taken together, these data indicate that L. plantarum DSM 15313 has anti-diabetic properties when fed together with an HFD. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/l-plantarum-dsm-15313-has-anti-diabetic-properties-when-fed-together-high-fat-#comments Diabetes Mellitus: Type 2 Lactobacillus plantarum Obesity Probiotics Hypoglycemic Agents Diabetes mellitus: Type 2 Hypoglycemic Agents Lactobacillus plantarum obesity probiotics Animal Study Thu, 08 Jun 2017 02:20:49 +0000 greenmedinfo 148845 at https://greenmedinfo.com Lactobacillus fermentum ME-3 A New Frontier in Glutathione Therapy https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/lactobacillus-fermentum-me-3-new-frontier-glutathione-therapy <div class="copyright">This article is copyrighted by GreenMedInfo LLC, 2019<br/><strong><a href="/greenmedinfocom-re-post-guidelines">Visit our Re-post guidelines</a></strong></div><p class="rtecenter"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><img alt="" src="//cdn.greenmedinfo.com/sites/default/files/ckeditor/blank.justin/images/LactobacillusFermentumME-3ANewFrontierinGlutathioneTherapy.jpg" style="width: 600px; height: 315px;" /></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:22px;"><em><strong><font face="verdana, geneva, sans-serif">Glutathione is essential to the functioning of each and every cell in the human body, but modern times have made it increasingly challenging for our stores to be maintained at optimal levels.

Epub 2016 Oct 18. PMID: 27757592 Abstract Title:  Improvement in glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity by probiotic strains of Indian gut origin in high-fat diet-fed C57BL/6J mice. Abstract:  PURPOSE: Diabetes and obesity are characterized by glucose intolerance, fat deposition, inflammation, and dyslipidemia. Recent reports postulated that distinct gut microbiota alterations were observed in obese/diabetic subjects and modulating gut microbiota beneficially through specific probiotics could be a potential therapeutic option for type 2 diabetes/obesity. Therefore, we attempted to study the efficacy of probiotics of Indian gut origin (Lactobacillus plantarum MTCC5690 and Lactobacillus fermentum MTCC5689) along with a positive control, Lactobacillus rhamnosus (LGG) on glucose/lipid homeostasis in high-fat-diet-induced diabetic animal model. METHODS: C57BL/6J male mice were divided into seven groups (n = 6 per group) comprising feeding on: (1) Normal Pellet Diet (NPD), (2) High-Fat Diet (HFD), (3) HFD with LGG, (4) HFD with MTCC5690, (5) HFD with MTCC5689, (6) HFD with metformin, and 7) HFD with vildagliptin for a period of 6 months. Biochemical markers, glucose tolerance, insulin resistance,and GLP-1 and LPS levels were assessed by standard protocols. Gut integrity was measured by intestinal permeability test. Transcriptional levels of tight junction proteins (TJPs) were probed in small intestinal tissues while inflammatory signals and other pathway specific genes were profiled in liver, visceral adipose tissue, and skeletal muscle. RESULTS: Mice fed with HFD became insulin resistant, glucose intolerant, hyperglycemic, and dyslipidemic. Diabetic mice were characterized to exhibit decreased levels of GLP-1, increased gut permeability, increased circulatory levels of LPS, decrease in the gene expression patterns of intestinal tight junction markers (occludin and ZO-1), and increased proinflammatory gene markers (TNFα and IL6) in visceral fat along with decreased mRNA expression of FIAF and adiponectin. Diabetic mice also exhibited increased mRNA expression of ER stress markers in skeletal muscle. In addition, liver from HFD-fed diabetic mice showed increased gene expressions of proinflammation, lipogenesis, and gluconeogenesis. Probiotic interventions (most prominently the MTCC5689) resisted insulin resistance and development of diabetes in mice under HFD feeding and beneficially modulated all the biochemical and molecular alterations in a mechanistic way in several tissues. The metabolic benefits offered by the probiotics were also more or less similar to that of standard drugs such as metformin and vildagliptin. CONCLUSION: Native probiotic strains MTCC 5690 and MTCC 5689 appear to have potential against insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes with mechanistic, multiple tissue-specific mode of actions. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/native-probiotic-strains-mtcc-5690-and-mtcc-5689-appear-have-potential-against#comments Diabetes Mellitus: Type 2 Insulin Resistance Lactobacillus fermentum Lactobacillus plantarum Lactobacillus rhamnosus Probiotics Diabetes mellitus: Type 2 Insulin Resistance Lactobacillus fermentum Lactobacillus plantarum Lactobacillus rhamnosus probiotics Risk Reduction Animal Study Thu, 08 Jun 2017 02:13:16 +0000 greenmedinfo 148844 at https://greenmedinfo.com Prevent and Treat the Common Cold with Strain-Specific Probiotics https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/prevent-and-treat-common-cold-strain-specific-probiotics <div class="copyright">This article is copyrighted by GreenMedInfo LLC, 2017<br/><strong><a href="/greenmedinfocom-re-post-guidelines">Visit our Re-post guidelines</a></strong></div><p class="rtecenter"><img alt="" src="//cdn.greenmedinfo.com/sites/default/files/ckeditor/blank.justin/images/PreventandTreattheCommonCold.jpg" style="width: 600px; height: 315px;" /></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:18px;"><em><strong>Rather than haphazardly buying probiotics off the shelf, customize your selection this cold and flu season with evidence-based strains proven to boost immunity.</strong></em></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Burgeoning technological innovations and scientific revelations have provided us with unparalleled insight into the inner workings of our universe, from the microcosmic realm of the <strong><a href="/keyword/microbiota" rel="dofollow" target="_blank">microbiota</a></strong> to the macrocosmic landscape of planetary interactions and phenomena at the galactic scale.

Abstract:  The aim of the study was to determine whether routine probiotic supplementation (RPS) with Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) or Lactobacillus acidophilus +Lactobacillus bifidum is associated with reduced risk of necrotising enterocolitis (NEC)≥Stage II in preterm neonates born at ≤32 weeks&#039; gestation. We conducted a retrospective cohort study on the effect of probiotic supplementation in very low birth weight infants in our neonatal unit by comparing two periods: before and after supplementation. The incidence of NEC≥Stage II, late-onset sepsis and all-cause mortality was compared for an equal period &#039;before&#039; (Period I) and &#039;after&#039; (Period II) RPS with LGG or L. acidophillus+L. bifidum. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to adjust for relevant confounders. The study population was composed of 261 neonates(Period I v. II: 134 v. 127) with comparable gestation duration and birth weights. In&lt;32 weeks, we observed a significant reduction in NEC≥Stage II (11·3 v. 4·8 %), late-onset sepsis (16 v. 10·5 %) and mortality (19·4 v. 2·3 %). The benefits in neonates aged ≤27 weeks did not reach statistical significance. RPS with LGG or L. acidophillus+L. bifidum is associated with a reduced risk of NEC≥Stage II, late-onset sepsis and mortality in preterm neonates born at ≤32 weeks&#039; gestation. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/probiotics-can-be-used-prevent-necrotising-enterocolitis-and-nosocomial-infect#comments Infants: Low Birth Weight Lactobacillus Acidophilus Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG Necrotising enterocolitis Probiotics Sepsis Gastrointestinal Agents Gastrointestinal Agents Infants: Low Birth Weight Lactobacillus Acidophilus Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG Necrotising enterocolitis probiotics Risk Reduction sepsis Human Study Mon, 21 Aug 2017 18:25:29 +0000 greenmedinfo 151938 at https://greenmedinfo.com Probiotics: Essential Supplements or Waste of Money? https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/probiotics-essential-supplements-or-waste-money <div class="copyright">This article is copyrighted by GreenMedInfo LLC, 2020<br/><strong><a href="/greenmedinfocom-re-post-guidelines">Visit our Re-post guidelines</a></strong></div><p class="rtecenter"><img alt="Probiotics: Essential Supplements Or Waste Of Money?" src="//cdn.greenmedinfo.com/sites/default/files/ckeditor/Sayer Ji/images/probiotics_supplements_good_or_bad.jpg" style="width: 600px; height: 497px;" /></p> <p><span style="font-size:18px;"><em><strong>Looking at the abundance (and price tags) of <a href="/guide/health-guide-probiotics" rel="dofollow" target="_blank">probiotic supplements</a> on the shelves in natural food stores these days, you'd assume there must me a mountain of evidence supporting the benefits of these products - right?</strong></em></span></p> <p>Not exactly.

Abstract:  The gut-brain axis is a bidirectional communication network functionally linking the gut and the central nervous system (CNS). Based on this, the rational manipulation of intestinal microbiota represents a novel attractive therapeutic strategy for the treatment of CNS-associated disorders. In this study, we explored the properties of a probiotic formulation (namely SLAB51) in counteracting brain oxidative damages associated with Alzheimer&#039;s disease (AD). Specifically, transgenic AD mice (3xTg-AD) were treated with SLAB51 and the effects on protein oxidation, neuronal antioxidant defence and repair systems were monitored, with the particular focus on the role of SIRT1-related pathways. We demonstrated that SLAB51 markedly reduced oxidative stress in AD mice brain by activating SIRT1-dependent mechanisms, thus representing a promising therapeutic adjuvant in AD treatment. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/slab51-probiotic-formulation-activates-sirt1-pathway-promoting-antioxidant-and#comments Alzheimer's Disease Probiotics Antioxidants Neuroprotective Agents SIRT1 Activator Alzheimer's disease Antioxidants Gut-brain Axis Neuroprotective Agents probiotics SIRT1 Activator Animal Study Fri, 02 Mar 2018 21:17:38 +0000 greenmedinfo 160647 at https://greenmedinfo.com
