Probiotic Supplementation during Pregnancy: Evaluating the Current Clinical Evidence Against Gestational Diabetes Mellitus
CONCLUSION: Probiotic supplementation at conventional dosages and in combination with a balanced healthy diet, and lifestyle seems to reduce the the risk of developing GDM, while ameliorating the severity of its symptoms. Further clinical studies taking into account the above considerations should be performed to establish conclusive results, while the future meta-analyses should include studies with the feasibly lowest heterogeneity.PMID:38676509 | DOI:10.2174/0115733998284749240417052006 (Source: Current Diabetes Reviews)

Association of using enteral nutrition containing probiotics and dietary inflammatory index with inflammatory factors serum levels and gastrointestinal complications in infected patients with COVID-19
Mahsa Mohajeri, Negin Abedi Nutrition & Food Science, Vol. ahead-of-print, No. ahead-of-print, pp.- This paper aims to examine the association between the dietary inflammatory index, the consumption of Enteral Nutrition Supplemented with probiotics with certain serum inflammation markers and gastrointestinal complications among individuals diagnosed with COVID-19.This cross-sectional investigation involved 100 COVID-19 patients who were admitted to intensive care units in hospitals. These patients were administered two different types of Enteral Nutrition, so the dietary inflammatory index (DII), gastrointestinal comp...

Microbial Symphony: Exploring the Role of the Gut in Osteoarthritis-Related Pain. A Narrative Review
AbstractOne of the most common musculoskeletal disorders, osteoarthritis (OA), causes worldwide disability, morbidity, and poor quality of life by degenerating articular cartilage, modifying subchondral bone, and inflaming synovial membranes. OA pathogenesis pathways must be understood to generate new preventative and disease-modifying therapies. In recent years, it has been acknowledged that gut microbiota (GM) can significantly contribute to the development of OA. Dysbiosis of GM can disrupt the “symphony” between the host and the GM, leading to a host immunological response that activates the “gut–joint” axis,...

The Interplay of Microbiome Dysbiosis and Cardiovascular Disease
Cardiol Rev. 2024 Apr 26. doi: 10.1097/CRD.0000000000000701. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe intricate ecosystem of the mammalian gut, which hosts a diverse microbiome, plays a vital role in various physiological functions. Trillions of bacteria within the gut contribute to host metabolism, immune modulation, energy homeostasis, and more. Emerging research highlights the gut microbiota's significant impact on cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), with intestinal dysbiosis identified as a risk factor for conditions such as obesity and diabetes, both linked to atherosclerosis. Chronic inflammation, pivotal in atherosclerosis, is...

However, the material scope has been limited to water-soluble compounds to avoid non-biocompatible organic solvents that are harmful to living cells. In this work, the SCNE of probiotic Lactobacillus acidophilus with water-insoluble luteolin and Fe3+ ions is achieved by the vortex-assisted, biphasic water-oil system. The process creates L. acidophilus nanoencapsulated in the luteolin-Fe3+ shells that empower the cell...

Gut permeability among Astronauts during Space missions
Life Sci Space Res (Amst). 2024 May;41:171-180. doi: 10.1016/j.lssr.2024.03.003. Epub 2024 Mar 20.ABSTRACTThe space environment poses substantial challenges to human physiology, including potential disruptions in gastrointestinal health. Gut permeability has only recently become widely acknowledged for its potential to cause adverse effects on a systemic level, rendering it a critical factor to investigate in the context of spaceflight. Here, we propose that astronauts experience the onset of leaky gut during space missions supported by transcriptomic and metagenomic analysis of human and murine samples. A genetic map cont...
