The gut microbiota play important roles in colon cancer. Vitamin E δ-tocotrienol (δTE) and its metabolite δTE-13'-carboxychromanol (δTE-13') are known to have cancer-preventive effects, but their impact on gut flora during tumorigenesis and the role of the metabolite in δTE's beneficial effects remain to be determined. In the murine colitis-associa...

Our previous studies found that Pure total flavnoids from citrus (PTFC) can effectively improve non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in mice. Here, we discuss on the mechanism of PTFC in treating NASH with focus on the regulation of the gut microbiota and bile acid metabolism. C57BL/6 J mice were randomly divided into three groups: normal diet grou...

We investigated the relationship between gut microbiota composition and osteoporosis/fracture risk in Japanese postmenopausal women using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, FRAX, bone mineral density, biochemical bone parameters, and a self-administered questionnaire. Variation in abundance of specific microbiota was found to be significantly associated wit...
