A new study has shown that high consumption of food preservatives is linked to an increased risk of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. Experts recommend choosing unprocessed foods whenever possible.
A study has shown that the bacterium Roseburia inulinivorans helps increase muscle mass and strength in elderly people. This microorganism is considered a promising basis for probiotics aimed at combating age-related frailty.
Japanese biologists have discovered that the interaction between two types of gut bacteria can destroy the protective mucous layer, leading to the development of chronic constipation. This finding offers a new approach to treatment, especially for patients who do not respond to laxatives.
A new study has shown that gut bacteria from primates with large brains can activate genes in rodents related to energy supply and cognitive functions, which may have played a role in the evolution of intelligence.
A new study has found that the consumption of food emulsifiers by mice during pregnancy and lactation may negatively affect the gut microbiota of their offspring, increasing the risk of inflammatory diseases and obesity. The researchers emphasize the need for further studies to assess the long-term impact of these additives on the health of future generations.
Scientists have identified molecules produced by the gut that influence metabolism and blood sugar levels through the liver. This discovery could lead to new approaches in the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Scientists have identified types of gut bacteria that are directly linked to body weight and metabolism. A new large-scale study has shown that diet influences the microbiota, and its composition, in turn, affects the risk of developing diseases.
A new study has shown that urolithin A, a compound produced in the gut when consuming pomegranates and nuts, can rejuvenate the immune system and boost its effectiveness in middle-aged individuals. This substance improves the function of immune cells and may slow down age-related changes.
