The genome of gut microbes encodes a collection of enzymes whose metabolic functions
contribute to the bioavailability and bioactivity of unabsorbed (poly) phenols. Datasets from …

Malnutrition has historically been researched and addressed within two distinct silos,
focusing either on undernutrition, food insecurity, and micronutrient deficiencies, or on …

Ageing and age-related diseases share some basic mechanistic pillars that largely
converge on inflammation. During ageing, chronic, sterile, low-grade inflammation—called …

Background Despite recent advances in the understanding of the swine gut microbiome at
different growth stages, a comprehensive longitudinal study of the lifetime (birth to market) …

Evidence suggests that gut microbiota composition and diversity can be a determinant of
skeletal muscle metabolism and functionality. This is true in catabolic (sarcopenia and …

A key metabolic activity of the gut microbiota is the fermentation of non-digestible
carbohydrate, which generates short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) as the principal end …

Frailty is a syndrome of growing importance given the global ageing population. While frailty
is a multifactorial process, poor nutritional status is considered a key contributor to its …

Human gut microbiota is able to influence the host physiology by regulating multiple
processes, including nutrient absorption, inflammation, oxidative stress, immune function …

The gut microbiota represents a 'metabolic organ'that can regulate human metabolism. Intact
gut microbiota contributes to host homeostasis, whereas compositional perturbations …

The human gut microbiome contains the largest number of bacteria in the body and has the
potential to greatly influence metabolism, not only locally but also systemically. There is an …
