Butyrate, one of the most abundant microbial-derived metabolites in the gut, is important in regulating intestinal homeostasis. In this study, we used untargeted global metabolomics to landscape the intestinal epithelial cellular metabolites changed by butyrate treatment.
Although nonstarch polysaccharides often have growth-promoting effects in animals, little is known about how polysaccharides act when administered as feed additives. Here, we demonstrate that Amomum longiligulare polysaccharide 1 (ALP1) improves the growth performanc...
Parabacteroides distasonis (P. distasonis) plays an important role in human health, including diabetes, colorectal cancer and inflammatory bowel disease. Here, we show that P. distasonis is decreased in patients with hepatic fibrosis, and that administration of P. dista...
The intestinal microflora and metabolites produced by these microbes serve as important regulators of the development of sepsis. Accordingly, this study was designed to systematically explore the relationships between the regulation of septicemia and both the intestinal flora and fecal metabolite...
METHODS: Serum samples from septic patients and healthy individuals...
