The more diverse our microbiome, the better our overall health. So, how can we improve our diversity? 'The single most important dietary factor we found for better gut health was the number of different plants w
The changes in predicted function following SF introduction were corroborated by a metagenomic analysis of the gut microbiome of a full-term, vaginally delivered, healthy, and exclusively breastfed boy (61). The boy's microbiome was enriched with functional genes characteristic of the adult gut ...
First, increasing evidence suggests that infant nutrition impact the infant microbiome trajectory and immune competence development. The feeding mode, exclusive or partial breastfeeding vs no breastfeeding during infancy, has well-recognized effects on the gut microbiome composition and function20. ...
An interview with David Meyers, medical expert on women's health in the U.S., is presented. Meyers discusses the benefits and evidence basis that would encourage clinicians to become engaged in promoting breastfeeding. He cites the strategies to motivate women's health practitioners to consider ...
Human milk is unquestionably beneficial for preterm infants. We investigated how the transition from tube to oral/breastfeeding impacts the preterm infants’ oral and gut microbiome and metabolome. We analyzed stool, saliva, and milk samples collected fr
meat rabbits was explained by the gut microbiome. Besides that, previous studies in Japanese q uails16 and p igs17 estimated m2 for body weight gain of 0.18 and 0.28, respectively. These large differences between our current results for growth traits and the previous ones could be...
The findings of our study provided a unique insight into the different functions and compositions of the gut microbiomes between dogs and wolves and increases our understanding of the bacterial ecosystems in can- ids. However, the sample size in this study was small because of the relatively ...
For breastfeeding parents, it releases a hormone that can help the uterus return to its original size after birth. It may also have long-term health benefits for breastfeeding parents, such as lowering the risk of illnesses like breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and cardiovascular disease. ...
Fang et al.15found that only 10% of the phenotypic variance of finishing weight in commercial meat rabbits was explained by the gut microbiome. Besides that, previous studies in Japanese quails16and pigs17estimated m2for body weight gain of 0.18 and 0.28, respectively. These large differences be...
Polypropylene-based products are commonly used for food preparation and storage, but their capacity to release microplastics is poorly understood. We investigated the potential exposure of infants to microplastics from consuming formula prepared in polyp
