Study Shows Gut Biota and Gene Loss Can Drive Disease: Implications for IBD and Others.

A recent announcement details the findings of a new study about the gut biome and its impact on health. According to the author, one finding included "a loss of one key gene led to a shift in microbiota communities and an increase in insulin resistance, obesity and other symptoms of metabolic syndrome (a cluster of these conditions)". Also, the author states, "study samples came from two groups of obese individuals: those with inflammatory bowel disease, and a healthy group. The genetic analysis of the microbial inhabitants of the respective guts "clearly separates patients from healthy individuals," These findings should significantly impact future intestinal research and therapies.

Hydrogen Sulfide, Cigarette Smoke, Endotoxin and Particulate Matter -- The Toxic Effects They Have In Common!: "Different chemicals have different modes of toxicity which can possibly reduces or be additive or potentiate the effects of the others and alter other metabolic processes such as insulin release and activities of Nrf2 cell signaling. Take four example the four toxicants endotoxin, hydrogen sulfide (H2S), cigarette smoke and particulate matter that are all common in the environment and can cause"
