The impact of early life dietary patterns on weight status, fecal microbiota and volatile fatty acid composition in 2-year-old children enrolled in the STRONG Kids 2 cohort
ABSTRACT The human gut microbiota, studied by proxy via the fecal microbiota, influences development of a number of human disease states. Unfortunately, current literature is scant on the investigation of early life dietary patterns’ influence on fecal microbiota and volatile fatty acid (VFA) …

Effects of yeast products on immune response and intestinal health of dogs and mice
… in terms of modulating a few specific fecal microbiota and immune cell numbers, but little is known regarding the effects of yeast products on immune cell responsiveness, fecal microbiota profiles, and gut integrity. Herein, we aimed to test yeast products and hypothesized that they may …

Microbial relationships between breastfeeding mothers and infants and response to maternal probiotic intervention
… cytokines in HM promote tolerance to resident microbiota. However, HM varies among women; therefore, modulating composition may augment infant microbial development, and thus long-term health. The origin of the HM microbiota and its role in infant gut microbiota development remain unclear. In …
