The trillions of microbes that constitute the human gut microbiome play a crucial role in digestive health, immune response regulation, and psychological wellness. Maintaining microbiota is essential as metabolic diseases are associated with it. Functional food ingredients potentially improving health include prebiotics, probiotics, synbiotics, postbiotics (PPSPs). While probiotics living bacteria provide advantages when ingested sufficiently, prebiotics non-digestible carbohydrates support good bacteria. Synbiotics work together to improve immunity intestinal by combining prebiotics. Postbiotics have also demonstrated numerous advantages, such bioactive molecules created during probiotic fermentation. According recent study, PPSPs can regulate synthesis metabolites, integrity barrier, change composition control illnesses. Additionally, use fecal transplantation (FMT) highlights potential for restoring through modulation, reinforcing benefits enhancing overall well-being. Research has shown several benefits, improved immunological function, alleviation symptoms irritable bowel disease (IBD), decreased severity allergies, antibacterial anti-inflammatory effects. Despite encouraging results, many unanswered questions remain about scope PPSPs' advantages. Extensive research required fully realize these functional components Effective therapeutic prophylactic measures require further investigation into roles PPSPs, specifically their immune-system-modulating, cholesterol-lowering, antioxidant, characteristics.

The gut microbiome and the intestinal immune system are driving contributors to inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Both have an important signalling factor in common: short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). SCFAs (acetate, propionate butyrate) produced by bacterial fermentation exert several effects on host metabolism system. This review provides overview of current knowledge these effects, with specific focus energy metabolism, barrier, system, disease activity IBD. To conclude, more research is needed cross-feeding mechanisms microbiome, as well therapeutic potential different models. Also randomized controlled trials prospective cohort studies should investigate clinical impact SCFA administration.

In addition, it involved in maintaining the integrity of intestinal epithelial barrier, crucial functional maturation immune system. Western diet (WD)—an unhealthy high consumption fats—can be broadly characterized by overeating, frequent snacking, prolonged postprandial state. term WD commonly known intuitively understood. However, strict digital expression nutrient ratios not precisely defined. Based on US data 1908–1989, calory intake available fats increased 32% to 45%. Besides metabolic aspects (hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, sympathetic nervous system renin-angiotensin overstimulation, oxidative stress), consequences excessive fat (high-fat diet—HFD) comprise dysbiosis, dysfunction, permeability, leakage toxic bacterial metabolites into circulation. These can strongly contribute development low-grade systemic inflammation.

The gut microbiota, including bacteria, archaea, fungi, viruses and phages, inhabits the gastrointestinal tract. This commensal microbiota can contribute to regulation of host immune response homeostasis. Alterations have been found in many immune-related diseases. metabolites generated by specific microorganisms such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), tryptophan (Trp) bile acid (BA) metabolites, not only affect genetic epigenetic but also impact metabolism cells, immunosuppressive inflammatory cells. cells (such tolerogenic macrophages (tMacs), dendritic (tDCs), myeloid-derived suppressive (MDSCs), regulatory T (Tregs), B (Breg) innate lymphocytes (ILCs)) Macs (iMacs), DCs, CD4 helper (Th)1, CD4Th2, Th17, natural killer (NK) NK neutrophils) express different receptors for SCFAs, Trp BA from microorganisms.
