20 Dietary polyphenols can modulate the gut microbiome

21 Polyphenols in the diet Estimated that 90-95% enter the colon Berries: (Anthocyanins) Citrus: (Flavanone) Cocoa: (Flavanols and procyanidins) Red wine: (Flavanol, Flavonols) Fruit and vegetables: (All classes) Tea: (Flavanols)

26 Vitamins may also impact on the gut microbiome

27 Vitamin B2 and F. prausnitzii Faecalibacterium prausnitzii is a strict anaerobe Riboflavin (vitamin B2) can act as a redox mediator in the gut Oxygen Riboflavin NAD + H 2 O Riboflavin NADH Energy metabolism Reduces oxygen stress and allows a higher population to grow F. prausnitzii cell Steinert et al (2016), Europ. J. Clin. Nutr. doi: /ejcn

29 Can we define a healthy gut microbiome?

30 What is a healthy gut microbiome? Vitamin levels: B12 K Cytokines from PBMC: IL-10 IL-8 IL-6 IL-1b IFNg Antimicrobial activity: E. coli pathovars Salmonella Typhimurium Campylobacter jejuni Products of saccharolytic metabolism: Acetate Lactate Succinate Butyrate Propionate Intestinal barrier function: TEER assay Gas formation: Rate H 2 CO 2 CH 4 LPS levels: LAL assay Genotoxic activity: Comet assay Products of proteolytic metabolism: Phenol Indole Skatole Ammonia Branched chain fatty acids Toxic products of metabolism: H 2 S Known bacterial toxins: Shiga toxin C. difficile toxins C. perfringens toxins Biotransforming enzymes: b-glucosidase b-glucuronidase Azoreductase

31 What is a healthy gut microbiome? Composition Bifidobacterium Lactobacillus Faecalibacterium prausnitzii Clostridium perfringens C. difficile Sulfate reducing bacteria Products Acetate Butyrate Propionate Phenols NH 4 + Amines H 2 S Toxins Properties Hostile environment to transient pathogens Low genotoxicity

32 Concluding thoughts We are learning more about the impact of dietary components on the diet Causative relationships to health still elusive We need a much better knowledge of metabolites in the gut Definition of prebiotic coming under debate A mechanism? An effect? We cannot precisely define a healthy gut microbiome
