Introduction This study examined the effects of probiotic supplementation alone or combined with aerobic exercise on antioxidant capacity and oxidative stress after high-intensity interval (HIIE) in college students. Methods Thirty male students were divided into three groups: control (C), (P), (PE). The 6-week intervention involved moderate-intensity cycling times a week. All participants underwent single session HIIE protocol. tests for maximal oxygen uptake (VO 2 max), elimination rate lactic acid (ER), blood markers, rheology performed. Results A decrease superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity was observed at baseline P PE groups ( < 0.01), while significantly increased glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) reduced catalase found group 0.05). In groups, SOD 0.01) total (T-AOC) level elevated HIIE. T-AOC from 0.47 ± 0.03 umol Trolox/mL to 0.78 0.07 0.56 0.04 0.82 0.05 group. 8-OHdG both C 0.05), but remained unchanged intervention.

The gut-brain-cancer axis represents a novel and intricate connection between the gut microbiota, neurobiology, cancer progression. Recent advances have accentuated significant role of microbiota metabolites in modulating systemic processes that influence both brain health tumorigenesis. This paper explores emerging concept metabolite-mediated modulation within connection, focusing on key such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), tryptophan derivatives, secondary bile acids, lipopolysaccharides (LPS). While microbiota's impact immune regulation, neuroinflammation, tumor development is well established, gaps remain grasping how specific contribute to neuro-cancer interactions. We discuss with potential implications for neurobiology cancer, indoles polyamines, which yet be extensively studied. Furthermore, we review preclinical clinical evidence linking dysbiosis, altered metabolite profiles, tumors, showcasing limitations research gaps, particularly human longitudinal studies. Case studies investigating microbiota-based interventions, including dietary changes, fecal transplantation, probiotics, demonstrate promise but also indicate hurdles translating these findings therapies. concludes call standardized multi-omics approaches bi-directional frameworks integrating microbiome, neuroscience, oncology develop personalized therapeutic strategies patients.

Neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common form of dementia, represent a growing global health crisis, yet current treatment strategies remain primarily palliative. Recent studies have shown that neurodegeneration through complex interactions within gut-brain axis largely depends on gut microbiota and its metabolites. This review explores intricate molecular mechanisms linking dysbiosis to cognitive decline, emphasizing impact microbial metabolites, including short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), bile acids, tryptophan neuroinflammation, blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity, amyloid-β tau pathology. The paper highlights major microbiome signatures associated with disease, detailing their metabolic pathways inflammatory crosstalk. Dietary interventions promise in modulating composition, potentially mitigating neurodegenerative processes. critically examines influence dietary patterns, Mediterranean Western diets, microbiota-mediated neuroprotection. Bioactive compounds like prebiotics, omega-3 polyphenols exhibit neuroprotective effects by reducing neuroinflammation. Furthermore, it discusses emerging microbiome-based therapeutic strategies, probiotics, postbiotics, fecal transplantation (FMT), potential for slowing progression. Despite these advances, several knowledge gaps remain, interindividual variability responses need large-scale, longitudinal studies. study proposes an integrative, precision medicine approach, incorporating science into paradigms. Ultimately, cognizance at mechanistic level could unlock novel avenues, offering non-invasive, diet-based strategy managing improving health.

In recent years, the study of probiotics has advanced significantly, driven by growing interest in their potential health benefits and applications food pharmaceutical industries. Probiotics are claimed to enhance gut health, modulate immune responses, improve digestion, synthesize beneficial compounds for host, even impact mental through gut-brain axis. However, traditional vitro methods identifying have limitations, such as low reproducibility phenotypic screening, limited capacity discover new strains, restricted evaluation safety, inefficiencies fully understanding biological properties responsible health-promoting effects.

With growing recognition of the pivotal role gut microbiota in human health, probiotics have gained widespread attention for their potential to restore microbial homeostasis. However, a critical challenge persists: limited colonization efficiency among most probiotic strains compromises therapeutic efficacy. This overview synthesizes ecological principles with cutting-edge microbiome research elucidate dynamic interplay between dietary components and within intestinal niche. systematically analyzes: (1) stage-specific mechanisms spanning introduction, establishment, proliferation; (2) nutrient-driven modulation composition function; (3) dual common patterns as both facilitators disruptors persistence. Notably, this identifies key strategies, including precision delivery prebiotic fibers polyphenol-microbiota crosstalk, that enhance niche adaptation through pH optimization, adhesion potentiation, competitive exclusion pathogens. Furthermore, critically evaluates current limitations research, particularly strain-specific variability methodological constraints simulating host-microbe-diet tripartite interactions. To bridge these gaps, proposes an interdisciplinary framework integrating omics-driven strain selection, engineered systems, personalized nutrition models. Collectively, work advances mechanistic understanding diet-microbiota interactions while providing actionable insights developing targeted therapies evidence-based interventions optimize ecosystem resilience.
