Study: Nutrition has greater influence on gut microorganisms than defensin
Updated : 2 years, 4 months ago IST
A multitude of variables impacts the makeup of the gut microbiota, including diet and the body's synthesis of the intestinal defence molecule defensins, which was found by researchers at Ume University in Sweden. Instead, scientists determined that these molecules may have a role in preventi

Study: Diet has much stronger impact than defensins on gut microbes
Updated : 2 years, 4 months ago IST
The composition of the intestinal microbiota is influenced by a variety of factors, including nutrition and the body's production of the intestinal defence molecule defensins, which has been discovered by researchers at Ume University in Sweden. Instead, they discovered a potential function

Vaginal microbiome does not affect babies' gut microbiome: Study
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
A new University of British Columbia study challenges the long-held belief that a baby's gut microbiome is predominantly moulded by their mother's vaginal microbiome, while also giving fresh insight on the variables that do impact its development.

Study reveals purple vegetables, tubers with anthocyanins can lower the ri
Updated : 3 years ago IST
Anthocyanins, the red, purple, and blue pigments found in fruits, vegetables, and tubers, can lower the risk of diabetes by influencing inflammation, gut microbiota, and energy metabolism. The favourable effect of anthocyanins on type 2 diabetes is amplified if the anthocyanin is acylated, w

Study: Solution for imbalance in gut microbiome that worsens 'Graft versus
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
A study discovered that changes in the gut microbiota are associated with an increase in oxygen levels in the intestine after immune-mediated intestinal injury. Reducing intestinal oxygen levels pharmacologically eased the microbial imbalance and reduced the severity of intestinal illness.
