Researchers found that intestinal bacteria produce a molecule that not only induces, but causes pathology.
A silent biochemical disorder could explain why chronic inflammation is so dangerous – and how we may soon be able to anticipate it. Researchers have controlled both elevated cholesterol levels and diabetes by biochemical blocking of the IDO1 enzyme. It is two of the most dangerous common diseases of our time – cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes – mainly due to the derailment of the body's own mechanisms. However, researchers at the Uni…
The discovery, thanks to an experiment with hundreds of workers from Banco Santander in Madrid, opens the door to new treatments beyond cholesterol reduction
A metabolite that generates certain intestinal bacteria, imidazole propionate, favors the stiffness and narrowing of the arteries, according to a study led by the CNIC published in 'Nature' Read
Gut bacteria make a molecule that promotes plaque build-up in arteries
A bacterially produced molecule circulates in the bloodstream and increases the risk of cardiovascular disease by hijacking immune-cell signalling. A bacterially produced molecule circulates in the bloodstream and increases the risk of cardiovascular disease by hijacking immune-cell signalling.
Gut Check: How Fecal Microbiome Metabolites Predict ICU Survival – Patient Worthy
A groundbreaking study has revealed that the balance of metabolites produced by gut microbes (measured from a simple stool sample) can predict the short-term risk of death for critically ill patients in intensive care. This discovery opens the door to using gut health as a powerful tool in precision medicine, with the potential to guide […]
