[ 1 ] - Gut Microbiota Composition in Obese and Normal Weight Adults in Iran
Background and purpose: Increasing prevalence of obesity over the past few decades constitutes a global health challenge. Recent evidence suggests that gut microbiota may contribute to weight control. So, the present study aimed at comparing the frequency of different bacteria in gut microbiota between obese and normal weight people in Iran. Materials and methods: Thirty normal weight (BMI of ...
[ 2 ] - Comparing the Effects of Live and Pasteurized Akkermansia muciniphila on Management of Obesity and Diabetes
Diabetes and obesity are among the most important metabolic disorders which are of worldwide concern. Today, it has been proven that the diversity and composition of the intestinal microbiota play a key role in the incidence and control of metabolic diseases via regulating the metabolism and immune responses of the host. Previous studies reported links between Akkermansia muciniphila, a commen...
[ 3 ] - Extracellular Vesicles Derived from Gastrointestinal Microbiota: A New Approach to Clinical Studies
Extracellular vesicles, naturally released from all cell types including bacteria, are of great importance in medical microbiology due to transporting a variety of biomaterials, enzymes, and virulence factors, regulating immunity, and having roles in colonization and initiation of signaling pathways. These vesicles are also secreted from microbiota in the gastrointestinal tract and affect the h...
[ 4 ] - Clinical application of gut microbiota metabolites: A novel opportunity in personalized medicine
Nowadays, metabolomics studies are performed with different approaches to identify biomarkers, clarify the underlying mechanisms of diseases and achieve novel treatment strategies. In this context, gut microbiota-derived metabolites are known as one of the most important mediators of gut microbiota effects on human health and various diseases. Due to the inefficiency of conventional therapies i...
