Applications of Strain ‐Specific Probiotics in the Management of Cardiovascular Diseases: A Systemic Review
The consumption of red meat, sugary processed foods, and saturated fat alters the gut microbiota, and the bacterial alteration leads to an increase inEnterobacter species that release endotoxins in the blood. Choline and carnitine are substrates for trimethylamine (TMA) formation, which undergoes hepatic conversion to trimethylamineN-oxide (TMAO). The increase in TMAO level results in decreases in BAS and RCT activity while increasing the production of foam cells and inflammation in vessels by inducing Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR), leading to thrombosis and atherosclerosis. AbstractCardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leadin...

Multi-strain probiotics ameliorates Alzheimer's-like cognitive impairment and pathological changes through the AKT/GSK-3 β pathway in senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8 mice
CONCLUSIONS: Multi-strain probiotics treatment can ameliorate cognitive impairment and pathological change in SAMP8 mice, including neural damage, Aβ and Tau pathology, and neuroinflammation. This effect is associated with the regulation of the phosphorylation of the AKT/GSK-3β pathway.PMID:38548184 | DOI:10.1016/j.bbi.2024.03.031 (Source: Brain, Behavior, and Immunity)

Effects of prebiotics, probiotics, and synbiotics on the prevention and treatment of cervical cancer: Mexican consensus and recommendations
This article summarizes the current scientific evidence on the effects of supplementation with prebiotics, probiotics, and synbiotics on high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infections, precancerous lesions, and various stages of cervical cancer development and treatment while also examining the underlying molecular pathways involved. Our findings indicate that a higher dietary fiber intake is associated with a reduced risk of HPV infection, while certain probiotics have shown promising results in clearing HPV-related lesions. Additionally, certain strains of probiotics, prebiotics such as inulin and fructo-oligosaccharide...

Kombucha Tea-associated microbes remodel host metabolic pathways to suppress lipid accumulation
by Rachel N. DuMez-Kornegay, Lillian S. Baker, Alexis J. Morris, Whitney L. M. DeLoach, Robert H. Dowen The popularity of the ancient, probiotic-rich beverage Kombucha Tea (KT) has surged in part due to its purported health benefits, which include protection against metabolic diseases; however, these claims have not been rigorously tested and the mechanisms underlying host response to the probiotics in KT are unknown. Here, we establish a reproducible method to maintainC.elegans on a diet exclusively consisting of Kombucha Tea-associated microbes (KTM), which mirrors the microbial community found in the fermenting culture...

Agro-ecosystem of honeybees as source for native probiotic yeasts
AbstractProbiotic microorganisms are used to improve the health and wellness of people and the research on this topic is of current relevance and interest. Fifty-five yeasts, coming from honeybee ’s ecosystem and belonging toCandida,Debaryomyces,Hanseniaspora,Lachancea,Metschnikowia,Meyerozyma,Starmerella andZygosacchromyces genera and related different species, were evaluated for the probiotic traits. The resistance to gastrointestinal conditions, auto-aggregation, cell surface hydrophobicity or biofilm formation abilities as well as antimicrobial activity against common human pathogenic bacteria were evaluated. The saf...
