Abstract The microbiota in individual habitats differ both relative composition and absolute abundance. While sequencing approaches determine only the abundances of taxa genes, experimental techniques for abundance determination are rarely applied to large-scale microbiome studies. Here, we developed a machine learning approach predict fecal microbial loads (microbial cells per gram) solely from data. Applied datasets (n = 34,539), demonstrate that load is major determinant gut variation associated with numerous host factors. We found several diseases, altered load, not disease itself, was main driver changes. Adjusting this effect substantially reduced significance more than half disease-associated species. Our analysis reveals confounder studies, highlighting its importance understanding health disease.

The gastrointestinal tract is home to trillions of diverse microorganisms collectively known as the gut microbiota, which play a pivotal role in breaking down undigested foods, such dietary fibers. Through fermentation these food components, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) acetate, propionate, and butyrate are produced, offering numerous health benefits host. production absorption SCFAs occur through various mechanisms within human intestine, contingent upon types fibers reaching specific engaged fermentation. Medical literature extensively documents supplementation SCFAs, particularly butyrate, treatment gastrointestinal, metabolic, cardiovascular, gut-brain-related disorders. This review seeks provide an overview dynamics involved gut. Additionally, it will focus on roles promoting metabolic health, well their current therapeutic implications.

The gut microbiota is a complex and dynamic ecosystem known as the ‘second brain’. Composing microbiota-gut-brain axis, its metabolites regulate central nervous system through neural, endocrine immune pathways to ensure normal functioning of organism, tuning individuals’ health disease status. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), main bioactive microbiota, are involved in several neuropsychiatric disorders, including depression.

Tryptophan (TRP) contributes to individual immune homeostasis and good condition via three complex metabolism pathways (5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), kynurenine (KP), gut microbiota pathway). Indole propionic acid (IPA), one of the TRP derivatives pathway, has raised more attention because its impact on metabolic disorders. Here, we retrospect increasing evidence that metabolites/IPA derived from proteolysis host health disease.

Previous studies have reported that patients with AN show dysbiosis compared to healthy controls (HCs); however, underlying mechanisms are unclear, and data on influencing factors longitudinal course microbiome changes scarce. Here, we present 57 adolescent inpatients diagnosed at up nine time points (including a 1-year follow-up examination) compare these six 34 HCs. 16S rRNA gene sequencing was used investigate composition fecal samples, food intake, weight change, hormonal recovery (leptin levels), clinical outcomes were recorded.
