Gut microbiota and risk of iron deficiency anemia: A two-sample Mendelian randomization study

Medicine, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 104(8), P. e41617 - e41617

Published: Feb. 21, 2025

Previous studies have suggested a link between gut microbiota and iron-deficiency anemia (IDA). However, interpreting these findings is difficult due to various factors that influence microbiome composition the limitations of observational studies, such as confounding variables reverse causation. This study aims explore causal relationship IDA using Mendelian randomization (MR) overcome limitations. We conducted 2-sample MR analysis data from genome-wide association MiBioGen Consortium UK Biobank. The included 211 genus-level microbes linked single-nucleotide polymorphisms 18,340 participants in Consortium. outcome for were obtained 484,598 Biobank, with 2941 cases 481,657 controls. assessed relationships techniques, primarily inverse variance weighting, performed sensitivity analyses confirm robustness our results. Nine significantly associated ( P < .05). Protective Clostridia, Actinomycetaceae, Pasteurellaceae, Oscillospira, Prevotella, Roseburia, while risk Ruminococcus gnavus group, Hungatella, Parasutterella. Sensitivity showed reliability without significant variability. provides evidence specific bacteria risk, identifying potential targets therapies aimed at improving outcomes those IDA. Further research needed clarify involved.

Pineapple Waste Biorefinery: An Integrated System for Production of Biogas and Marketable Products in South Africa

Biomass, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 5(2), P. 17 - 17

Published: March 25, 2025

Pineapple (Ananas comosus) is one of the most economically important fruit cultivars in South Africa. The locally consumed, processed into various industrial products or exported to foreign markets. Approximately 115,106 metric tons pineapple are harvested value chain generates significant amounts waste, form pomace, peel, crown, stem, core and base. If not properly treated, waste (PAW) could have a profound detrimental impact on environment. This calls for advanced technological platforms transform PAW useful bio-based products. A biorefinery potent strategy convert multiple food non-food while effectively disposing waste. objective this review explore possible pathways valorization energy material biorefinery. paper looks at 10 including biogas, biohythane, bioethanol, biobutanol, biohydrogen, pyrolytic products, single-cell proteins, animal feed, vermicompost bioactive compounds. Several (i.e., biochemical, chemical, physical thermochemical) available valuable goods. Amongst them, biochemical route appears be favorable option PAW. Anaerobic digestion fermentation well-established technologies valorization. These methods simple, low-cost, eco-friendly sustainable. focal point emerging research enhanced efficacy platforms. commercialization biorefining potential gamechanger that revitalize entire African economy.
