Open AccessOvercoming donor variability and risks associated with fecal microbiota transplants through bacteriophage-mediated treatments
Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) and fecal virome transplantation (FVT, sterile filtrated donor feces) have been effective in treating recurrent Clostridioides difficile infections, possibly through bacteri...

Open AccessTransfer of modified gut viromes improves symptoms associated with metabolic syndrome in obese male mice
Metabolic syndrome encompasses amongst other conditions like obesity and type-2 diabetes and is associated with gut microbiome (GM) dysbiosis. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has been explored to treat ...

Open AccessMarked gut microbiota dysbiosis and increased imidazole propionate are associated with a NASH Göttingen Minipig model
Gut microbiota dysbiosis is associated with the development of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) through modulation of gut barrier, inflammation, lipid metabolism, bile acid signaling and short-chain fatty ...

Open AccessControlling the uncontrolled variation in the diet induced obese mouse by microbiomic characterization
Group sizes in an animal study are calculated from estimates on variation, effect, power and significance level. Much of the variation in glucose related parameters of the diet-induced obese (DIO) mouse model ...

Open AccessOligosaccharide equine feed supplement, Immulix, has minor impact on vaccine responses in mice
Several mammalian species are vaccinated in early life, but little is known about the effect of diet on vaccine response. Oligosaccharides are increasingly proposed as dietary supplement for young individuals ...

The microbiome and rodent models of immune mediated diseases
Over the last six decades production of laboratory rodents have been refined with the aim of eliminating all pathogens, which could influence research results. This has, however, also created rodents with litt...

Open AccessSystems-wide effects of short-term feed deprivation in obese mice
While prolonged fasting induces significant metabolic changes in humans and mice, less is known about systems-wide metabolic changes in response to short-term feed deprivation, which is used in experimental an...

Microbiology and Microbiome
A mammal harbours a vast number of microorganisms in the form of bacteria, viruses, protozoans, parasites, fungi and archaea, which is known as the microbiota. The animal host contains approximately 20,000 gen...

Open AccessC57BL/6J substrain differences in response to high-fat diet intervention
C57BL/6J-related mouse strains are widely used animal models for diet-induced obesity (DIO). Multiple vendors breed C57BL/6J-related substrains which may introduce genetic drift and environmental confounders s...

TL1A regulates adipose-resident innate lymphoid immune responses and enables diet-induced obesity in mice
TL1A is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that is homologous to TNFα and connected with the development of several chronic inflammatory disorders. The preliminary results of this study indicated reduced fat accumula...

Open AccessLong-term Western diet fed apolipoprotein E-deficient rats exhibit only modest early atherosclerotic characteristics
In the apolipoprotein E–deficient mouse, the gut microbiota has an impact on the development of atherosclerosis, but whether such correlations are also present in rats requires investigation. Therefore, we stu...

The cre-inducer doxycycline lowers cytokine and chemokine transcript levels in the gut of mice
The antibiotic doxycycline is used as an inducer of recombinase (cre)-based conditional gene knockout in mice, which is a common tool to show the effect of disrupted gene functions only in one period of a researc...

Open AccessEffects of Gliadin consumption on the Intestinal Microbiota and Metabolic Homeostasis in Mice Fed a High-fat Diet
Dietary gluten causes severe disorders like celiac disease in gluten-intolerant humans. However, currently understanding of its impact in tolerant individuals is limited. Our objective was to test whether glia...

Open AccessSensitivity to oxazolone induced dermatitis is transferable with gut microbiota in mice
Atopic Dermatitis (AD) has been associated with gut microbiota (GM) dysbiosis in humans, indicating a causative role of GM in AD etiology. Furthermore, the GM strongly correlates to essential disease parameter...

High-fat feeding increases hepatic vitamin C synthesis and its circulatory mobilization in mice
Vitamin C (vitC) deficiency has been linked to obesity and increased risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Whereas humans are unable to synthesize vitC and therefore to compensate for increased t...
