Due to its central role in animal nutrition, the gut microbiota is likely a relevant factor shaping dietary niche shifts. We analysed both the impact and contribution of the gut microbiota to the dietary niche expansion of the only four bat species that
described as a condition of two- to three-fold increased level of bacterial endotoxin Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) [15], which activates TLR-4 and then upregulates the proinflammatory cytokine expressions [16]. Gastrointestinal (GI) microbiota represents the main source of endotoxin and in turn diet i...

The gut microbiome is a complex ecosystem of microorganisms and their genetic entities colonizing the gastrointestinal tract. When in balanced composition, the gut microbiome is in symbiotic interaction with its host and maintains intestinal homeostasis. It is involved in essential functions such as nutri...
Background/Objectives: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic gastrointestinal disorder with debilitating symptoms and multifactorial etiology. Nutritional factors during adult life have been implicated in IBD pathogenesis. In addition, there is growing evidence that maternal and early-life diet may...
[12,16]. In turn, the CNS can directly influence the composition and function of the gut microbiota through the autonomic nervous system [17]. This top-down modulation can occur indirectly via regulation of gastrointestinal (GI) motility and transit, mucus secretion and permeability of the ...
3. IL-22 responses to bacterial pathogens and the gut microbiota In addition to maintaining the mucosal barrier function in the gastrointestinal tract, IL-22 induces genes that encode proteins involved in antimicrobial defense, thus suggesting a role for IL-22 in the innate immunity against extracel...
Competition among different bacterial species has been traditionally used to counteract the harmful effects of invading pathogens. This therapeutic approach is mostly applied for the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases, such as the use ofSaccharomyces boulardiifor the treatment of post-antibiotic diarrhoea...
Substantial studies have suggested that natural compounds rich in antioxidants can enhance the immune system and decrease oxidative stress. These substances facilitate in scavenging the reactive species that initiate the peroxidation, inhibit the formation of peroxides, breaking the autoxidative chain reaction...
