Summary

Miso supplementation in mice on a Western-type diet stimulated intestinal ILC3 immune cells and reduced small intestine inflammation, with the functional capacity of ILC3s to produce IL-22 proving more important than their absolute numbers for immune regulation.

Body Systems
Models

This study demonstrated that miso supplementation influenced several factors involved in inflammation and intestinal barrier integrity by stimulating ILC3s in RORγt heterozygous mice. Moreover, it showed that the number of ILC3s is not the key factor in immune regulation, but rather the ability of ILC3 to produce IL-22 and employ it to control the immune response in the small intestine.

Gut microbiota remodeling drived by dietary millet protein prevents the metabolic syndrome

Researchers found that millet bran protein extract prevented metabolic syndrome in high-fat diet mice by remodeling gut microbiota and reducing obesity, chronic inflammation, and insulin resistance. The protective effects were linked to specific gut microbial metabolites influenced by dietary millet protein.

Carvacrol attenuated lipopolysaccharide-induced intestinal injury by down-regulating TLRs gene expression and regulating the gut microbiota in rabbit

Researchers tested whether carvacrol, a natural plant compound found in oregano and thyme, could protect the intestines of rabbits challenged with a bacterial toxin (lipopolysaccharide), finding it reduced inflammation, improved gut lining structure, and restored healthier gut bacteria communities. These results suggest carvacrol could be a useful dietary supplement for protecting intestinal health in rabbit farming.

Carvacrol attenuated lipopolysaccharide-induced intestinal injury by down-regulating TLRs gene expression and regulating the gut microbiota in rabbit

This study examined how carvacrol (a natural plant compound) reduces intestinal inflammation and protects gut microbiota in rabbits challenged with bacterial toxins. Understanding how the gut microbiome responds to different stressors provides context for research on microplastic effects on intestinal health.
