Dear Friends,
This week we offer you our newest "best of GMFH" document -- this one covering the gutmicrobiota in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The document is a selection of contentfrom our website, compiled and edited by Prof. Philippe Marteau and Prof. Harry Sokol andproduced in partnership with the European Crohn’s and Colitis Organisation (ECCO-IBD).
This week we also feature two articles covering the recent Chinese study on dietarymodulation of gut microbiota to treat genetic and simple obesity in children. First, wesummarize the paper in a GMFH selection, and then we speak with Dr. Liping Zhao tolearn more about the bacterial 'guilds' discussed in the paper.
Highlighted literature selections this week include three papers on the gut-brain axis, and acommentary by Prof. Patrice Cani on dietary emulsifiers and how they impact gutmicrobiota and gut barrier function.
September brings the start of many routines - don't forget to check GMFH on a regularbasis to stay informed of what's happening in the field of gut microbiota worldwide!

Gut microbiota and inflammatorybowel disease: A selection ofcontent from the Gut Microbiota forHealth Experts Exchange 2014-2015
We are pleased to introduce the second editionof our « Best of » series!
This edition is a summary of the latest scientificresearch on the gut microbiota and inflammatorybowel disease (IBD). It is a selection of contentfrom the ESNM's Gut Microbiota for Healthwebsite, compiled and edited by Prof. PhilippeMarteau and Prof. Harry Sokol, in partnershipwith the European Crohn’s and Colitis Organisation.
In this document, you’ll have a picture of how probiotics, genes, the immune system,the intestinal microbiota, and environmental triggers might interact in the onset andcourse of IBD in both adult and pediatric populations.
We invite you to take a look and participate in the related discussion on our LinkedIngroup: linkedin.com/grp/home?gid=4825357

Chinese research shows diet can altergut microbiota to treat obesity
A recent study lent insight into the role of the microbiotain both diet-related and genetic obesity in humans.
This Chinese study, led by Prof. Liping Zhao, Prof. AihuaYin, and Prof. Huiru Tang, involved 17 children withPrader-Willi syndrome (PWS) -- the most commongenetic cause of morbid obesity in children -- and 21with simple (diet-induced) obesity.
The children received an intensive dietary intervention ina hospital setting. The diet, aimed at changing the gutmicrobiota, included a high intake of whole grains,traditional Chinese medicinal foods and prebiotics.

Evidence for bacterial 'guilds' in the gutecosystem
Liping Zhao and colleagues, in their recent paper on adietary intervention for simple and genetic obesity,discussed evidence for the existence of gut microbiota'guilds': bacterial genomes within the gut ecosystem thatresponded to the dietary intervention as a group.
Prof. Zhao further explains to GMFH editors, "Guilds arefunctional groups formed by different species in anecosystem. Members in the same guild co-thrive or co-decline together."

The gut-brain axis: A two-way street
A study by De Palma, et al. used germ-free and specificpathogen-free mouse models to investigate the effectsof early-life stress. Researchers reported that stress(maternal separation) altered the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in mice. Colonizing adult germ-free micewith the same microbiota led to distinct microbial profilesin mice who had experienced early-life stress. Aftercolonization, behaviour was altered in the stressed micebut not in control mice.

The impact of dietary emulsifiers on gutmicrobiota and gut barrier function
A recent study (Chassaing, et al.) showed that twodietary emulsifiers -- carboxymethylcellulose andpolysorbate-80 -- induced gut microbiota alteration andgut barrier dysfunction in mice, resulting in weight gain,low-grade inflammation, and metabolic disorders.
