It has been hypothesized that stress alters gut permeability and results in mild endotoxemia which exaggerates HPA activity and contributes to anxiety and depression. To reveal the relationship between microbiome composition, stress-induced gastrointestinal functions and behavior, we treated chronically ...
Stress is an important co-factor for the genesis and maintenance of many diseases and is known to have an effect on gene expression via epigenetic regulation. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) appear to function as one of the key factors of this regulation. This is the
Role of the Plant Root Microbiome in Abiotic Stress Tolerance Chapter © 2019 Introduction The plant kingdom is one of the major divisions of an ecosystem where horticultural crops are extremely important to fulfill the continuous food demands of the ancient to the modern world. Changes in clim...
In particular, the concept of ROS-induced ROS release (RIRR) may be important, whereby ROS formed in one region activate ROS in another region13 (Fig. 1). A number of pharmacologic strategies have been developed to lower cross-talk between Noxs and mitochondria, which may reduce RIRR.14 ...
3d), and the number of goblet cells was decreased in mice exposed to diquat. However, compared with the diquat-induced oxidative stress model group, dietary 0.6-Se mg/kg supplementation significantly increased the height of the villi and the number of goblet cells (Supplementary Fig. 3e). The...
While genetic changes (mainly transposon mobility) in response to stress-induced interference with chromatin are well documented and heritable, in our view there is no unambiguous evidence for transmission of exclusively chromatin-controlled stress effects to progeny. We propose a set of criteria that ...
16S rRNA gene sequencing and liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometer (LC-MS) were applied to observe the effects of CRS exposure on the alteration of the gut microbiome and microbial metabolites. Bioinformatics analysis and correlation analyses were applied to analyse the changes in the frequency of ...
Metal pollution has a detrimental effect on the soil ecosystem, leading to various ecological changes, such as changes in soil structure, reduction in soil fertility and effects on soil microorganisms [1]. Plants growing in polluted soils take up toxic metals that interfere with plant growth. Morp...
changes in microglial gene expression. The absence of gut microbiota diminished oxidative stress and ameliorated mitochondrial dysfunction in microglia from the brains of aged mice. Unbiased metabolomic analyses of serum and brain tissue revealed the accumulation ofN6-carboxymethyllysine (CML) in the ...
Environmental stress is increasing worldwide, yet we lack a clear picture of how stress disrupts the stability of microbial communities and the ecosystem services they provide. Here, we present the first evidence that naturally-occurring microbiomes disp
