This review examines how nutrition and food-based interventions can improve cancer treatment outcomes for patients receiving targeted cancer therapies. A Mediterranean-style diet with plenty of fiber (30-50g daily) appears beneficial for patients on immune checkpoint inhibitor therapies by promoting healthy gut bacteria that support immune function. The review also discusses promising research on fermented foods, specific bacterial supplements, mushroom extracts, and fasting approaches as complementary strategies to enhance cancer treatment effectiveness while reducing side effects.

Untargeted metabolomics as a tool to assess the impact of dietary approaches on pig gut health: a review

mycolabadmin

This review examines how different types of food and feed additives affect the chemical compounds in pig digestive systems. By analyzing thousands of tiny molecules in pig samples using advanced laboratory techniques, researchers can understand which dietary approaches help pigs maintain healthy guts and resist disease. The study shows that adjusting the levels of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in pig feed can influence beneficial bacteria and protective compounds in their intestines.

Prebiotics and Probiotics Supplementation in Pigs as a Model for Human Gut Health and Disease

mycolabadmin

Pigs are excellent models for studying human digestive health because their gut anatomy and function closely resemble humans. This review shows that prebiotics (special food compounds) and probiotics (beneficial bacteria) can improve gut health and strengthen the intestinal barrier in both healthy pigs and those with infections. These findings suggest that similar treatments might help prevent and treat digestive diseases in humans.
