In this review, we discuss the roles of the gut microbiota and dietary phytochemicals in improving human health. Recent studies have reported that the human gut microbiota can be altered by dietary phytochemicals, including phenolics, carotenoids, and dietary fibers. In addition, both pathogenic and...
dietary fiber impacts gut microbial ecology, host physiology, and health. Hippocrates’ notion “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food” remains highly relevant millennia later, but requires consideration of how diet can be used for modulation of gut microbial ecology to promote health...
"Interestingly, the beneficial gut bacteria that are able to breakdown fiber don't survive in an environment rich in oxygen, which means that our microbiota andintestinal cellswork together to promote a virtuous cycle that maintains gut health," Mariana X. Byndloss, assistant project scientist and...
Objective: A systematic review and meta-analysis were undertaken to assess the effect of dietary fiber interventions on gut microbiota composition in healthy adults. Design: A systematic search was conducted across MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL, and CINAHL for randomized controlled trials using culture and/...
Interest is rapidly growing around the role of the human gut microbiota in facilitating beneficial health effects associated with consumption of dietary fiber. An evidence map of current research activity in this area was created using a newly developed database of dietary fiber intervention studies in...
Dietary fibers are generally thought to benefit intestinal health. Their impacts on the composition and metabolic function of the gut microbiome, however, vary greatly across individuals. Previous research showed that each individual’s response to fiber
The human gastrointestinal tract harbors a magnitude of bacteria, which are collectively known as the gut microbiome. Research has demonstrated that the gut microbiome significantly impacts the health of its host and alters the host’s risk for various c
Dietary fibers are known to promote intestinal health. Dietary fibers are edible plant-derived food components that encompass complex carbohydrates and lignin, resist the digestion in the small intestine of which some are degraded and fermented by gut microbiota in the large intestine, i.e. cecum ...
The interplay between diet and the gut microbiome: implications for health and disease Article15 July 2024 Introduction What we eat and how this may influence our health has aroused interest for millennia. In ancient times, wild animals and foraged plants exclusively were acquired as foods, and ...
Thus, selective inclusion of DF in diets can be used as a nutritional strategy to optimize the intestinal health of pigs, despite its lower digestibility and consequential negative effect on digestibility of other nutrients. 展开 关键词: dietary fiber digestion fermentation gut health pig ...
