BACKGROUND: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is a type of recurrent and incurable disease, which can lead to the loss of workability, increase cancer risk and bring serious economic burden to patients. Abnormal intestin...
To elucidate the metabolic mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of Enterococcus faecalis on host health under high-carbohydrate-high-fat (HCHF) stress, we performed an untargeted metabolomics analysis on intestinal contents of common carp (Cyprinus carpio). Fish were fed an HCHF diet with...
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.
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...
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major public health problem due to the high incidence affecting approximately one-third of the world’s population. NAFLD is usually linked to obesity and excessive weight. A subset of patients with NAFLD express normal or low body mass index; thus, th...
INTRODUCTION: Crohn’s disease (CD) is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory bowel disease affecting the gastrointestinal tract. Although its precise etiology has not been fully elucidated, imbalance of the intestinal microbiota has been known to play a role in CD. Fecal metabolites m...
