This study scrutinizes the potential antitumorigenic attributes black rice diet (BRD), abundantly rich in anthocyanin. Our results demonstrate notable effects mice on BRD, indicated by reduction both size number intestinal tumors consequent extension life span, compared control diet‐fed counterparts. Furthermore, fecal transplants from BRD‐fed germ‐free led decrease colonic cell proliferation, coupled with maintained integrity barrier. The BRD was associated significant shifts gut microbiota composition, specifically an augmentation probiotic strains Bacteroides uniformis Lactobacillus .

Gut microbiota might affect the severity and progression of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). We aimed to characterize gut dysbiosis clinical parameters regarding fibrosis stages assessed by magnetic resonance elastography. This study included 156 patients with MASLD, stratified into no/mild (F0–F1) moderate/severe (F2–F4). Fecal specimens were sequenced targeting V4 region 16S rRNA gene analyzed using bioinformatics. The genotyping PNPLA3, TM6SF2, HSD17B13 was allelic discrimination assays.

Obesity is a major health challenge due to its high prevalence and associated comorbidities. The excessive intake of diet rich in fat sugars leads persistent imbalance between energy expenditure, which increases adiposity. Here, we provide an update on relevant diet-microbe-host interactions contributing or protecting from obesity. In particular, focus how unhealthy diets shape the gut microbiota thus impact crucial intestinal neuroendocrine immune system functions. We describe these promote dysfunction gut-to-brain pathways involved food control postprandial metabolism elevate proinflammatory tone, promoting obesity metabolic complications. addition, examples this knowledge may inspire microbiome-based interventions, such as fecal transplants, probiotics, biotherapeutics, effectively combat obesity-related disorders. also discuss current limitations gaps research
