Oral antibiotics increase the risk of Parkinson’s disease, study finds
A recent study has found that oral antibiotics may increase the risk of Parkison’s disease. In their report, Finnish researchers noted that it may take up to 15 years for those taking antibiotics to manifest any symptoms, also adding that the effects of oral antibiotics on gut microbes contribute to this increased risk. Their findings were published in the journal Movement Disorders. Researchers […]

Study: Coffee drinkers have higher levels of anti-inflammatory gut bacteria
Coffee is an excellent drink that does more than just energize your body — it helps keep your arteries healthy, staves off obesity and protects the brain from age-related damage, among other things. Recent studies also suggest that coffee can boost gut health. One study, in particular, linked high coffee consumption to higher levels of anti-inflammatory gut bacteria and improved composition of the gut […]

Gut microbiota may affect the anti-cancer activity of this oriental herb against colorectal cancer
Oplopanax elatus, commonly known as nakai, is an herb native to northern China that is known for its anti-cancer effects, especially against colorectal cancer (CRC). But questions remain on whether or not the human gut microbiota interferes with nakai’s anti-CRC effects. To address this, a team of researchers from China’s National Clinical Research Center for Geriatric […]

Researchers investigate the influence of gut microbiota on the anti-cancer effects of Oplopanax elatus
Researchers from China’s National Clinical Research Center for Geriatric Disorders and the Hunan University of Chinese Medicine studied how anti-cancer compounds from Oplopanax elatus (nakai) interact with the human gut microbiota. Their findings were published in the American Journal of Chinese Medicine. The polyyne-enriched fraction of O. elatus (PEFO) has shown anti-colorectal cancer (CRC) effects, but the influence […]

Eating probiotic foods helps improve bone health in women
In 2001, a group of international scientists working on behalf of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO) agreed to change the definition of probiotics. What they came up with became the most widely accepted definition of probiotics — that is, “live microorganisms which, when administered in adequate […]

Testing for a commensal gut bacterium could help identify people at risk of severe COVID-19
A new study suggests that the composition of gut microbiota could help predict COVID-19 severity. Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMMS) examined stool samples from COVID-19 patients and found that those who were critically ill had altered gut microbiomes. The researchers also identified a commensal bacterium called Enterococcus faecalis as a strong predictor of COVID-19 severity. E. faecalis is a symbiont with a potential to […]

Researchers say taurine trains your gut microbiota to resist subsequent infections with the same pathogen
Your gut microbiota helps shield you from infections, and for the longest time, scientists have wondered how. A new study published on Jan. 15 in the journal Cell details the process involved in gut immunity, or specifically, how your gut microflora functions to give you colonization resistance. Using mouse models, a team from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) identified which bacteria help your […]

Gut microbiota has a key role in mechanisms associated with muscle strength among the elderly
Researchers from Tufts University and the Harvard Medical School found that the gut microbiota may be involved in mechanisms affecting muscle strength in the elderly. The team examined healthy and unhealthy older adults and found that the two groups have a distinct profile of gut bacteria. Further experiments with mice demonstrated a link between the gut microbiota […]

Probiotic supplementation can alleviate bacterial vaginosis and osteoporosis
Researchers at Kyung Hee University in South Korea examined the effects of probiotics Gardnerella vaginalis (GV)-induced vaginosis and ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis in female mice. They reported their findings in an article published in the Journal of Medicinal Food. The excessive expression of tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a) is known to aggravate bacterial vaginosis (BV) and osteoporosis. To determine if probiotics […]
