Article Abstract
Background & Aims: Sucralose consumption has been associated with a reduction in insulin sensitivity, potentially through changes in gut microbiota, induction of low-grade inflammation and other pathophysiologic mechanisms, thus the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of sucralose consumption on glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, postprandial glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), gut microbiota composition, Curli protein, and related metabolites.
Methods: Randomized placebo-controlled triple blind trial including healthy lean individuals assigned to consume 30% of the sucralose acceptable daily intake or placebo for 30 days. A mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT) was performed before and after intervention to evaluate the postprandial changes in the main outcomes. Insulin sensitivity was estimated with the Matsuda index. Gut microbiota was assessed by sequencing the 16S rRNA gene. Serum biochemical parameters, branched chain amino acids (BCAA), fatty acid profile, and inflammatory markers were measured.
Results: Glucose, insulin and GLP-1 areas under the curve increased after the MMTT, along with a significant decrease in insulin sensitivity after sucralose consumption. A reduction in α-diversity of the gut microbiota was observed. Additionally, proinflammatory markers, BCAA, acetate, and fecal Curli protein increased, whereas serum glutamic acid and fecal butyrate, decreased after sucralose consumption.
Conclusion: The consumption of sucralose in healthy lean individuals for 30 days caused a 20.3% significant decrease in insulin sensitivity. This might be mediated by changes in gut microbiota composition associated with related metabolites potentially leading to a pro-inflammatory environment that can affect insulin signaling pathways.

Background: A plant-focused, healthy dietary pattern, such as the Mediterranean diet enriched with dietary fiber, polyphenols, and polyunsaturated fats, is well known to positively influence the gut microbiota. Conversely, a processed diet high in saturated fats and sugars negatively impacts gut diversity, potentially leading to weight gain, insulin resistance, and chronic, low-grade inflammation. Despite this understanding, the mechanisms by which the Mediterranean diet impacts the gut microbiota and its associated health benefits remain unclear.

Background: Dietary fiber supports metabolic health via microbial fermentation, producing short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). However, metabolic responses to fiber vary between individuals, potentially due to differences in gut microbiota composition. The Prevotella-to-Bacteroides (P/B) ratio has emerged as a potential biomarker for fiber responsiveness.

Metaflammation, a chronic immune response triggered by metabolic dysregulation, poses significant threats to gut-liver homeostasis in aquaculture species. To understand the progression of metaflammation, it is crucial to examine the role of SOCS8 deficiency in socs8 zebrafish, as this species may serve as a disease model for metabolic disorders due to the gradual dysregulation of immunity, metabolism, and the gut microbiota observed in them. This study examines the immune-metabolic crosstalk in grass carp, subjected to soybean meal-induced enteritis, and in socs8 zebrafish under genetic and dietary stress.

Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PNDs) are common complications following surgery, especially in elderly patients, and are characterized by memory loss, attention deficits, and impaired executive function. The pathogenesis of PNDs involves a complex interplay of neuroinflammation, neurotransmitter imbalance, epigenetic modifications, and gut-brain axis disruption. This review summarizes the latest findings on the mechanisms underlying PNDs, with a focus on microglial activation, interleukin imbalance, and NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis.
