Article Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), one of the leading causes of death worldwide, is a consequence of persistent liver injury, inflammation, and fibrosis. Recent research has demonstrated that the gut-liver axis plays a crucial role in the pathological mechanisms of HCC development. Given the overall paucity of data available, we examined both clinical and animal studies investigating the influence of gut microbiota and their metabolites on the development of HCC in light of current scientific understanding. In this review, we concentrate on the mechanism by which intestinal dysbiosis facilitates the hepatocarcinogenesis pathway and offer a detailed account of the specific pathways involved in the promotion of HCC by the microbiome and its metabolites. Based on this, researchers might extrapolate which strains would be beneficial or harmful to restore gut homeostasis by targeting gut-liver axis in the pathogenesis of HCC.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a condition that results from metabolic disorders. In addition to genetic factors, irregular and high-energy diets may also significantly contribute to its pathogenesis. Dietary habits can profoundly alter the composition of gut microbiota and metabolites.

In pig production, weaning is a critical period where piglets face several environmental stressors. This transition leads to a significant growth reduction and can result in digestive disorders, including diarrhea. To formulate a feed that meets zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) requirements during the weaning period while minimizing their release into the environment, it became evident that a more bioavailable micro-mineral supplement is necessary.

Purpose Of The Review: This review aimed to summarize current evidence on the effectiveness of medical nutrition therapy (MNT) in the management of obesity and endometriosis, with a focus on dietary patterns such as the Mediterranean and Ketogenic diets, as well as nutritional supplementation. Additionally, it highlights the central role of the clinical nutritionist in implementing individualized, evidence-based interventions within multidisciplinary care.

Recent Findings: Although the literature reports the existence of an inverse relationship between risk of endometriosis and body mass index, clinical evidence jointly reports that a condition of obesity is associated with greater disease severity.

School of Public Health, Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, No. 1166, Liutai Avenue, Wenjiang District, Chengdu, 611137, Sichuan Province, China.

The inhibitory effects of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum on inflammatory responses are known, but its action mechanisms in oxidative stress, immunomodulation, and intestinal homeostasis remain of interest. Accordingly, we investigated the protective effects of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum SCS2 (L. plantarum SCS2) against sodium dextran sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis in mice as well as elucidated its impact on inflammation, oxidative stress, and intestinal microbiota.
