Microbiome
The microbiome is made of microorganisms living in and on our body. Through metabolism, the microbiome contributes essential metabolites that contribute to our health, but can also release toxic metabolites that contribute to disease. The study of the microbiome together with host biology is currently one of the hottest topics in biomedical research.
How bile salt hydrolases affect the gut microbiome
Bile acid composition and a complex network of bile salt hydrolases in the gut shape microbial colonization.
Modulating gut microbiota with prebiotics could control type 2 diabetes
Modulation of gut microbiota with prebiotic Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) led to discovery of two novel enterosynes (12-HETE and enkephalin), with potential to control type 2 diabetes
Giardia lamblia alters bile acid secretion in mice
A neonatal mouse model demonstrated that G. lamblia infection altered the composition of the gut microbiome and enhanced bile acid secretion and deconjugation.
