Summary: A new study reports sleep loss can lead to alterations in gut bacteria that have previousle been linked to diabetes and obesity in humans. Source: Uppsala University. Results from a new clinical study conducted at Uppsala University suggest that curtailing sleep alters the abundance of bacterial gut species that have previously been linked toContinue reading “Sleep Loss Tied to Gut Microbiota Changes in Humans”

Gut Bacteria Have Own Circadian Clock
Summary: Researchers report our gut bacteria is sensitive to melatonin and expresses its own circadian rhythm. Source: University of Kentucky. The circadian rhythm, or circadian clock, is an internal mechanism that drives the 24-hour cycles that tell our bodies when to sleep, wake and eat — and now, new research has found that bacteria livingContinue reading “Gut Bacteria Have Own Circadian Clock”
The Role Gut Bacteria Plays in Neurodegenerative Diseases
Summary: Researchers report proteins produced by gut bacteria may cause protein misfolding in the brain and cerebral inflammation. Source: University of Louisville. Research at UofL funded by The Michael J. Fox Foundation shows proteins produced by gut bacteria may cause misfolding of brain proteins and cerebral inflammation. Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD) and AmyotrophicContinue reading “The Role Gut Bacteria Plays in Neurodegenerative Diseases”
Gut Bacteria May Aid Recovery From Spinal Cord Injury
Summary: A new study suggests certain probiotics could help aid patients’ recovery from spinal cord injury. Source: Rockefeller University Press. Researchers from The Ohio State University have discovered that spinal cord injury alters the type of bacteria living in the gut and that these changes can exacerbate the extent of neurological damage and impair recoveryContinue reading “Gut Bacteria May Aid Recovery From Spinal Cord Injury”

Potential Link Between Throat Microbiomes and Schizophrenia
Studying microbiomes in throat may help identify causes and treatments of brain disorder. In the most comprehensive study to date, researchers at the George Washington University have identified a potential link between microbes (viruses, bacteria and fungi) in the throat and schizophrenia. This link may offer a way to identify causes and develop treatments ofContinue reading “Potential Link Between Throat Microbiomes and Schizophrenia”
Gut Fungus and additives might promote Crohn’s disease
Gut Fungus The researchers found that the people with Crohn’s disease had significantly higher levels of two types of bacteria, called Escherichia coli and Serratia marcescens, and one fungus, called Candida tropicalis, compared with their healthy relatives and the other people in the study who did not have the disease, according to the study, published Sept.Continue reading “Gut Fungus and additives might promote Crohn’s disease”
Microbes manipulate behavior and mood, obesity and cancer
It sounds like science fiction, but it seems that bacteria within us – which greatly outnumber our own cells – may very well be affecting both our cravings and moods to get us to eat what they want, and often are driving us toward obesity. In an article published this week in the journal BioEssays,Continue reading “Microbes manipulate behavior and mood, obesity and cancer”

Gut bacteria linked to chronic disease
Cleveland Clinic researchers have, for the first time, linked trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) — a gut metabolite formed during the digestion of egg-, red meat- or dairy-derived nutrients choline and carnitine — to chronic kidney disease. TMAO has been linked to heart disease already, with blood levels shown to be a powerful tool for predicting futureContinue reading “Gut bacteria linked to chronic disease”
