Project description:Microbial RNAseq analysis of cecal and fecal samples collected from mice colonized with the microbiota of human twins discordant for obesity. Samples were colleted at the time of sacrifice, or 15 days after colonization from mice gavaged with uncultured or cultured fecal microbiota from the lean twins or their obese co-twins. Samples were sequenced using Illumina HiSeq technology, with 101 paired end chemistry. Comparisson of microbial gene expression between the microbiota of lean and obese twins fed a Low fat, rich in plant polysaccharide diet.
Project description:Fermented goat milk (FGM) with Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. indicus CRL1447 and supplemented with different mixes of lactobacilli strains (Mix1: Limosilactobacillus fermentum CRL1446 + Lactiplantibacillus paraplantarum CRL1449 + Lactiplantibacillus paraplantarum CRL1472; Mix2: CRL1446 + CRL1449; Mix3: CRL1446 + CRL1472; and Mix4: CRL1449 + CRL1472) was administered to mice fed a high-fat diet. Proteomics data show that high-fat diet generally upregulates proteins involved in fatty acid oxidation and downregulates proteins taking part in lipid synthesis, whereas the administration of FGM+Mix3 positively modulates the hepatic proteomic profile.
Project description:The aim of this study was to decipher the mechanisms by which the major human milk oligosaccharide (HMO), 2’-fucosyllactose (2’FL), can affect body weight and fat mass gain upon high-fat diet (HFD) feeding in mice. In particular, we wanted to elucidate whether 2’FL metabolic effects are linked with changes in intestinal mucus production and secretion, mucin glycosylation and degradation, as well as with the modulation of the gut microbiota, fecal proteome and endocannabinoid (eCB) system.
