Obesity, Gut Microbiota, and Metabolome: From Pathophysiology to Nutritional Interventions

Nutrients, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 15(10), С. 2236 - 2236

Obesity is a disorder identified by an inappropriate increase in weight relation to height and considered many international health institutions be major pandemic of the 21st century. The gut microbial ecosystem impacts obesity multiple ways that yield downstream metabolic consequences, such as affecting systemic inflammation, immune response, energy harvest, but also gut-host interface. Metabolomics, systematized study low-molecular-weight molecules take part pathways, represents serviceable method for elucidation crosstalk between hosts' metabolism microbiota. In present review, we confer about clinical preclinical studies exploring association related disorders with various microbiome profiles, effects several dietary interventions on composition metabolome.

The Effect of Dietary Types on Gut Microbiota Composition and Development of Non-Communicable Diseases: A Narrative Review

Nutrients, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 16(18), С. 3134 - 3134

Опубликована: Сен. 17, 2024

Introduction: The importance of diet in shaping the gut microbiota is well established and may help improve an individual’s overall health. Many other factors, such as genetics, age, exercise, antibiotic therapy, or tobacco use, also play a role influencing microbiota. Aim: This narrative review summarizes how three distinct dietary types (plant-based, Mediterranean, Western) affect composition development non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed, Web Science, Scopus databases, focusing on keywords “dietary pattern”, “gut microbiota” “dysbiosis”. Results: Both plant-based Mediterranean diets have been shown to promote production beneficial bacterial metabolites, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), while simultaneously lowering concentrations trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO), molecule associated with negative health outcomes. Additionally, they positive impact microbial diversity therefore are generally considered healthy types. On hand, Western typical example unhealthy nutritional approach leading overgrowth pathogenic bacteria, where TMAO levels rise SCFA drops due dysbiosis. Conclusion: current scientific consistently highlights superiority over promoting preventing NCDs. Understanding influence modulation pave way for novel therapeutic strategies.

Health Benefits of a Plant-Based Dietary Pattern and Implementation in Healthcare and Clinical Practice

American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 18(5), С. 657 - 665

Опубликована: Март 14, 2024

The American College of Lifestyle Medicine recommends eating a predominantly plant-based diet with variety minimally processed vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds. At any level, adoption can improve one's health through mechanisms. Increasing intake foods often results in increases fiber intake, decreases saturated fat increased essential vitamins minerals, among other healthful benefits. Despite such potential benefits, many individuals are reluctant or resistant to change their usual dietary behaviors unable sustain changes over time. This is largely because an individual's decision adopt influenced by diverse array motivating factors, priorities, and/or misconceptions about nutrient adequacy diets. Here, we discuss key points from session at the Medicine's annual conference LM2023. Specifically, review common preconceptions diets, provide guidance on removing barriers adopting adhering highlight literature findings supporting benefits Last, how diets increasingly being implemented within care clinical practice support Food is/as approaches.

Abstract This interventional single-center prospective open-label study aims to evaluate the effects of a vegan diet, compared vegetarian and omnivorous on metabolic parameters, insulin sensitivity, liver kidney steatosis in healthy adults. The included 53 participants aged 18-40 years, body-mass index 18-30 kg/m2, without any chronic disease, medication use, active smoking, or significant alcohol consumption. All were at baseline selected continue an diet transition with follow-up over six months. Anthropometric measurements, biochemical assessed after months using magnetic resonance imaging-proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF). Primary outcomes changes steatosis, while secondary alterations anthropometric markers. Among participants, 18 followed 21 adopted 14 transitioned diet.

This review delves into six interconnected sections, unraveling intricate relationship between diet, gut microbiota, and their profound impact on dance of nutrients orchestrates complex symphony, influencing digestive processes susceptibility to disorders. Emphasizing bidirectional communication brain, Brain-Gut Axis section highlights crucial dietary choices physical, mental, emotional well-being. Autoimmune diseases, particularly those manifesting reveal delicate balance disrupted by microbiome imbalances. Strategies for reconciling microbes through diets, precision nutrition, clinical indications showcase promising avenues managing distress revolutionizing healthcare. From Low-FODMAP diet neuro-gut interventions, these strategies provide holistic understanding gut’s world. Precision as groundbreaking discipline, holds transformative potential tailoring recommendations individual microbiota compositions, reshaping landscape Recent advancements indications, including exact probiotics, fecal transplantation, signify new era where actively participates therapeutic strategies.
