Got leaky gut and worried about Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) causing an immune response that leads to systemic inflammation? Well you should be! But let's talk about what a ketogenic diet can do to mitigate that for you. Shall we? 🧵(1/21)
A #leakygut is a condition in which the lining of the intestine becomes damaged or compromised, allowing toxins, undigested food particles, and harmful bacteria to enter the bloodstream. (2/21)
When this happens, large amounts of LPS (lipopolysaccharide) can be released into the bloodstream, triggering an #immune response and #inflammation in the body. (3/21)
Persistent childhood viruses are found in adult tissues, including internal organs, indicating the existence of a unique microbiome in our organs- the virome. doi.org/10.1093/nar/gk…

Bacteriophages can be robustly detected in microbiome samples like feces or skin swabs. But identifying latent viruses remains a challenge, as they can slumber as episomes or integrated within cells and tissues without actively replicating.
As these viruses are intracellular they are not restricted to body's outer surfaces where most other microbiotas dwell.

1/: About 70% of the immune system is housed in the gut. And yet, both our digestive and immune systems were largely ignored during the 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘤. In this 𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗, I will briefly tell you things the government won’t tell you.
2/: The gut is home to billions of microorganisms (i.e. bacteria, viruses etc.) that are of central importance to us. This community of organisms is called the "microbiome". The #microbiome may weigh as much as five pounds (i.e. 2.5kg).
3/: With a surface area of 400m², the gut mucosa is one of the largest components of the human immune system. Its function is to absorb nutrients while making sure that pathogens won't enter the bloodstream.

Au regard du vécu patient, on peut dire que cela va dans les 2 sens. Le sars-cov a une capacité à altérer les jonctions serrées mais l'altération des jonctions serrées est aussi une cause pour faire un "mauvais covid" mais aussi de compliquer la guérison 3/x

The Effect of #Glyphosate on the #Gutmicrobiome and Neurocognitive Function
sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
1/5 Glyphosate is the active ingredient in the herbicide #RoundUp. In 1996 #geneticallymodified soybeans that could tolerate Round Up were introduced. At that time, Round Up made up just 3.8% of herbicides in use. By 2007 glyphosate use was more than double the next herbicide.
2/5 Glyphosate blocks an enzyme used by plants, bacteria, fungi, and algae, including beneficial bacteria in our #gut. Pathogenic bacteria Clostridia and Salmonella are not affected by glyphosate, allowing them to survive.
Have you ever wished to sequence SPECIFIC bacteria but NOT the vast background in #microbiome? Today, we introduce *mEnrich-seq*: #methylation-guided enrichment sequencing of bacterial taxa of interest from microbiome. 4yr project led by @clannabel7! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…🧵1/10
#Metagenomic sequencing throughput is largely consumed by abundant microbes while those with relatively lower abundance cannot be sequenced in a cost-effective manner, due to the highly skewed abundance distribution of diverse bacteria and host DNA. 2/10
Although several methods have been developed (pls see Introduction in preprint) to exclude host DNA and/or the highly abundant microbes, there are still key challenges in achieving high enrichment efficiency and differentiating between bacterial taxa w/ very similar genomes. 3/10

"Would anyone care to guess why we're so GOOD at building transistors and so CRAP at designing drugs?"
"This thing [points to transistor] lives in a centralized system. This thing [points to cancer drug] lives in US."

Cocaine and other psychostimulants act by blocking catecholamine reuptake. Citrobacter rodentium is a mouse γ-Proteobacteria that can sense host norepinephrine to colonize the gut, inducing dysbiosis.

"Individuals exposed to multiple drugs, polypharmacy, showed distinct gut microbiome structures harboring significantly more abundant upper gastrointestinal species and several nosocomial pathobionts due to additive drug effects."
"Polypharmacy was also associated with microbial functions, including the reduction of short-chain fatty acid metabolism and increased bacterial stress responses."
Sometimes something so cool comes out I can't wait until a Live Brain Fog Recovery Program Lesson to share some of the scientific reasons for doing the program! So here it goes... 🧵
In a recent study on the diet-microbiome-gut-brain nexus in acute and chronic brain injury, findings have shown that the microbiome is affected by neurodegenerative conditions and brain injury states.
While the specific changes to the microbiomes of people suffering from different neurological disorders vary, there is a theme seen in both acute and chronic brain injury. And that theme is that pathogenic and opportunistic bacteria increase and beneficial flora becomes depleted.

This is one of the most concerning examples of #SARS-CoV-2 persistence to date 👉 The team found SARS-CoV-2 RNA + Spike protein in the stool of 11/14 newborn babies born to mothers who had #COVID-19 resolve 10+ weeks before delivery: nature.com/articles/s4139…
2/ The team concludes that “the findings suggest in utero transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and possible persistent intestinal #viral reservoirs in the newborns”
3/ It is important to note that all newborns that harbored SARS-CoV-2 in stool were negative for the #virus via nasal PCR. The team also found that stool homogenates from all 14 newborns in the study elicited elevated inflammatory IL-6 + IFN-γ from macrophages
