Biomarkers Predict Weight Loss, Suggest Personalized Diets

Cutting calories and exercise alone are not enough to help shift excess weight, a new study reports. Researchers report your gut bacteria and the amount of specific proteins your body produces affects your ability to lose weight and sustain weight loss. Depending on personal biomarkers, so people lose more weight following a low carb diet, while some lose more weight while on a low fat diet.

Gut Bacteria May Play a Role in Diabetes

People with higher levels of the gut bacteria Coprococcus tend to have higher insulin sensitivity, while those with higher levels of Flavonifractor have lower levels of insulin sensitivity. Researchers say specific gut bacteria could play a significant role in the development of Type 2 diabetes.

Evidence of Horizontal Gene Transfer Between Human Maternal Microbiome and Infant Gut Microbiome

A new model of vertical microbiome transmission between mother and child has been reported. Researchers say microbes in the maternal gut share genes with those in the infant's gut during the perinatal period directly following birth up to a few weeks postbirth.

Poor Gut Health May Drive Multiple Sclerosis, but a Better Diet May Ease It

Researchers found significantly higher levels of Lcn-2 levels in the stools of patients with multiple sclerosis. This marker correlated with reduced bacterial diversity and increases in other markers of intestinal inflammation. Bacteria that ease inflammatory bowel disease were also reduced in MS patients with high fecal levels of Lcn-2 levels.
