TL;DR: The microbiota may contribute to type 2 diabetes by generating imidazole propionate that can modulate host inflammation and metabolism, which likely reflects altered microbial metabolism of histidine, rather than histidine intake per se.
Fasting alters the gut microbiome reducing blood pressure and body weight in metabolic syndrome patients.

TL;DR: In this paper, a 5-day fast followed by a modified Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension diet reduced systolic blood pressure, need for antihypertensive medications, body-mass index at three months post intervention compared to a modified dietary approach to stop hypertension diet alone.

TL;DR: S100A8 and S100A9 regulate development of the intestinal microbiota and immune system in neonates, and nutritional supplementation with these proteins might aide in development of preterm infants and prevent microbiota-associated disorders in later years.

TL;DR: The combination of biophysical, biochemical, immunological, microbiological, fetal cell, exosomal, or cell free RNA at different gestational ages, integrated as part of a multivariable predictor model may be necessary to advance attempts to predict sPTL and PTB.

TL;DR: DNA extraction methods had the highest impact on observed microbiome variability, and were comparable to interindividual differences, thus may spuriously mimic the microbiome signatures of various health and nutrition factors.
