Abstract The mammalian gastrointestinal tract and associated mucosal immune system harbor a large repertoire of metabolites prokaryotic eukaryotic origin that play important roles in development physiology. These often bioactive small molecules originate from nutrition- environmental-related sources, or are endogenously produced modulated by the host its microbiota.

Abstract Introduction We showed that Parkinson's disease (PD) patients have alpha‐synuclein (α‐Syn) aggregation in their colon with evidence of colonic inflammation. If PD altered microbiota, dysbiosis might be the mechanism neuroinflammation leads to α‐Syn misfolding and pathology.

This reshaping cytokine expression pattern, progressive tendency toward pro-inflammatory phenotype has been called 'inflamm-aging'.

Arterial hypertension and its organ sequelae show characteristics of T cell-mediated inflammatory diseases. Experimental anti-inflammatory therapies have been shown to ameliorate hypertensive end-organ damage. Recently, the CANTOS study (Canakinumab Antiinflammatory Thrombosis Outcome Study) targeting interleukin-1β demonstrated that therapy reduces cardiovascular risk.

Accumulating evidence suggests that the gut microbiota is an important factor in mediating development of obesity-related metabolic disorders, including type 2 diabetes. Metformin and berberine, two clinically effective drugs for treating diabetes, have recently been shown to exert their actions through modulating microbiota. In this study, we demonstrated metformin berberine similarly shifted overall structure rats. Both showed reverting effects on high-fat diet-induced structural changes The diversity was significantly reduced by both berberine- metformin-treatments. Nearest shrunken centroids analysis identified 134 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) responding treatments, which close associations with obese phenotypes. Sixty out OTUs were decreased drugs, while those belonging putative short-chain fatty acids (SCFA)-producing bacteria, Allobaculum, Bacteriodes, Blautia, Butyricoccus, Phascolarctobacterium, markedly increased and, a lesser extent, metformin. Taken together, our findings suggest similarity microbiota, enrichment SCFA-producing bacteria reduction microbial diversity, may contribute beneficial host.
