Good morning everyone. Today’s microbiome digest is very short specifically the human gut microbiome section. I have included only one study in this section which shows no association of gut microbiome and fecal calprotectin levels with enteropathy in preterm infants. Additionally, I have covered several interesting reviews and research articles to explore the role of the gut microbiome in Type 1 diabetes and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, ameliorates ulcerative colitis, aging process, regulation of energy metabolism and oxidative stress. I hope you will enjoy today’s feed.
