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.

Changes in the Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal Community in the Roots of Eucalyptus grandis Plantations at Different Ages in Southern Jiangxi, China

mycolabadmin

This research examines how fungal partnerships with eucalyptus tree roots change as plantations age. Scientists found that two dominant fungal types, Paraglomus and Glomus, shift in abundance depending on the plantation age and soil nutrient levels. The study reveals that proper fertilization timing and understanding fungal communities can help improve plantation management and tree productivity in nutrient-poor soils.

Dynamic changes of nutrients, isoflavone composition and antioxidant activities during liquid-state fermentation of soybean embryo homogenate by Ganoderma lucidum

mycolabadmin

Researchers fermented soybean embryo using Ganoderma lucidum mushroom to create a more nutritious and better-tasting food product. During fermentation, the mushroom’s enzymes broke down hard-to-digest compounds and converted isoflavones into more absorbable forms while dramatically increasing antioxidant activity. The fermented product showed 8-fold higher antioxidant power and reduced unpleasant flavors, making soybean embryo a viable functional food ingredient.

Mushroom stem-based diets elicit region-specific shifts in rainbow trout gut microbiota

mycolabadmin

Researchers tested whether mushroom stem waste products could be used as sustainable fish feed ingredients. When juvenile rainbow trout were fed diets containing 30% mushroom stems from three different species, their gut bacteria changed in beneficial ways without harming the intestinal lining. Different parts of the gut showed different bacterial responses, with the most beneficial effects being increased growth of helpful bacteria like Mycoplasma and Legionella. This research suggests mushroom processing byproducts could improve aquaculture sustainability while supporting fish health.

Human Gut Microbiome: A Connecting Organ Between Nutrition, Metabolism, and Health

mycolabadmin

Your gut bacteria function like an extra organ, helping digest food and producing important compounds that affect your whole body. The type of bacteria in your gut depends on diet, delivery method at birth, and antibiotics you’ve taken. Eating more fiber and taking certain probiotics can improve your bacterial balance and help prevent diseases like diabetes, obesity, and heart problems. This suggests that managing your gut microbiome through diet might be just as important as taking traditional medicines for staying healthy.

Evaluating the effectiveness of Pisolithus tinctorius in enhancing the Eucalyptus’ resistance to salt stress

mycolabadmin

Scientists isolated a beneficial fungus called Pisolithus tinctorius that can help eucalyptus trees survive in salty soil. When seedlings were treated with this fungus, they grew much better and were more resistant to salt stress compared to untreated plants. This discovery could help restore salt-damaged lands and make eucalyptus plantations more productive in challenging environments.
