Western diet induces a shift in microbiota composition enhancing susceptibility to Adherent-Invasive E. coli infection and intestinal inflammation.
PMID: Sci Rep. 2016 Jan 8 ;6:19032. Epub 2016 Jan 8. PMID: 26742586 Abstract Title: Western diet induces a shift in microbiota composition enhancing susceptibility to Adherent-Invasive E. coli infection and intestinal inflammation. Abstract: Recent advances have shown that the abnormal inflammatory response observed in CD involves an interplay among intestinal microbiota, host genetics and …
Propolis can attenuate DSS-induced colitis and provides new insight into diet-microbiota interactions during inflammatory bowel disease.
PMID: Nutrients. 2017 08 14 ;9(8). Epub 2017 Aug 14. PMID: 28805735 Abstract Title: Dietary Propolis Ameliorates Dextran Sulfate Sodium-Induced Colitis and Modulates the Gut Microbiota in Rats Fed a Western Diet.

A high-fat high-sugar diet in adolescent rats impairs social memory and alters chemical markers characteristic of atypical neuroplasticity.
PMID: Food Funct. 2019 Apr 17 ;10(4):1985-1998. PMID: 30900711 Abstract Title: A high-fat high-sugar diet in adolescent rats impairs social memory and alters chemical markers characteristic of atypical neuroplasticity and parvalbumin interneuron depletion in the medial prefrontal cortex. Abstract: Brain plasticity is a multifaceted process that is dependent on both neurons and extracellular matrix (ECM) …
Maternal high fat high sugar diet disrupts olfactory behavior but not mucosa sensitivity in the offspring.
PMID: Psychoneuroendocrinology. 2019 Jun ;104:249-258. Epub 2019 Feb 16. PMID: 30904822 Abstract Title: Maternal high fat high sugar diet disrupts olfactory behavior but not mucosa sensitivity in the offspring. Abstract: The influence of maternal diet on progeny's metabolic health has been thoroughly investigated, but the impact on sensory systems remains unexplored. Neurons of the olfactory …
Obesogenic diet exposure alters uterine natural killer cell biology and impairs vasculature remodeling in mice.
PMID: Biol Reprod. 2019 Aug 22. Epub 2019 Aug 22. PMID: 31436293 Abstract Title: Obesogenic diet exposure alters uterine natural killer cell biology and impairs vasculature remodeling in mice. Abstract: Pre-pregnancy obesity associates with adverse reproductive outcomes that impact maternal and fetal health. While obesity-driven mechanisms underlying adverse pregnancy outcomes remain unclear, local uterine immune …
