  2. 16. Gut microbiota, its modifications and the gut-brain axis

    Author : Julia Rode; Robert Jan Brummer; Julia König; Mirjana Rajilic-Stojanovic; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; gut microbiota; gut-brain axis; faecal microbiota transfer; probiotics; butyratFunctional magnetic resonance imaging; mental health; collagenous colitis;

    Abstract : The human intestinal microbiota has a major impact on host physiology and might play an important role in several diseases. Therapeutic interventions aimed at modifying the gut microbiota might exert their effects locally as well as systemically, for example via the gut-brain axis, a bidirectional communication system.

  4. 17. Toxicological studies of di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) : Impact on the reproductive system and gut microbiota

    Author : Radwa Almamoun; Oskar Karlsson; Paula Pierozan; Harri Alenius; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Dibutyl phthalate; Antiandrogen; Gut microbiota; Reproductive toxicity; Endocrine disrupting chemicals; Environmental contaminants; Phthalates; Plastics; 3D cell culture model; Exposome; Toxicology; Environmental Sciences; miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : The potential health impact of exposure to anthropogenic chemicals has raised major concerns worldwide. Phthalates are mainly used in the plastic industry and have been associated with adverse effects in humans. Di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) is one of the dominant phthalates with a ubiquitous presence in the environment. READ MORE

    Abstract : Inflammatory bowel diseases, (IBD), are a group of chronic disorders of the gastro-intestinal tract, and include Crohn’s disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC). The pathogenesis is not known, but involves at least in part a loss of tolerance towards the commensal colonic microbiota. READ MORE

  6. 19. Necrotizing enterocolitis - growth, bone health and intestinal microbiota during childhood

    Author : Amanda Magnusson; Göteborgs universitet; []

    Abstract : Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a dreaded gastrointestinal disease primarily affecting infants born preterm. Despite extensive research, NEC is still one of the most devastating diseases in neonatal intensive care. READ MORE

  7. 20. Bacterial colonization of the neonatal bowel and ileal pouch with focus on E. coli

    Author : Anna Östblom; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; E. coli; persistens; intestinal microbiota; colonization; ileal pouch; persistence; virulence factor genes;

    Abstract : The colonic microbiota is a source of inflammatogenic and potentially pathogenic bacteria, but also a source of immune maturation signals to the infant. Here, we have investigated the normal colonic microbiota, with focus on E. coli in Swedish and Pakistani newborn infants, as well as the microbiota of the ileo-anal pouch in colectomized patients.
