A Short Look on Microbiome and Lipid Metabolism

by

Previously, I discussed how important gut microbiota is in disease condition and how it may contribute to TLR4 signaling pathway. In today’s post, I will discuss how gut microbiome can affect lipid metabolism. Several studies supported a role for gut microbiota in the modulation of lipid metabolism1-3. In one of the early studies on this … Read more

A Short Look Into How To Conduct A Microbiome Study

by

Lines of evidence and range of conditions with host-microbiome interactions continue to rise. Therefore, many researchers from various fields are interested to see whether gut microbiota or its related metabolites are associated with pathologies and whether targeting specific microbes or microbial metabolites can show novel therapeutic properties. So, it is critical to understand different aspects … Read more
