14 Richness of human gut microbiome correlates with metabolic markers Le Chatelier et al., Nature 2013

15 GUT HEALTH Depends on ethnic, genetic, geographic and dietary factors; Depends on a delicate balance between food, the microbiota, and immunity. Disruption of this homeostasis balance can initiate metabolic and/or inflammatory diseases (IBD, rheumatoid arthritis, metabolic syndrome, atherosclerosis, psoriasis, etc ) Sartor RB, Gastroenterology 2008

16 Intestinal microbiota metabolism of L-carnitine, a nutrient in red meat, promotes atherosclerosi (Koeth et al., Nat Med 2013) Wang et al., Nature 2011; Howitt & Garrett Nat Med 2012; Tremaroli & Backhed Nature 2012; Tang et al., NEJM 2013.

30 Innate immunity Antigen-presenting cells express receptors that can sense microbial products (PAMPs), and activation of these receptors initiates an inflammatory response; Antigen-presenting cells sense endogenous signals released by damaged cells(damps) to trigger an immune response under sterile conditions i.e in the absence of microbial pathogens.

51 Food, immunity and the microbiome.as we associate changes in the microbiome with features of diseases, it is not clear which causes the other. In studies of obesity or malnutrition, it is not clear whether associated changes in the microbiota occurred before, during, or as a result of these disorders..a key question is whether a disease-promoting microbiota can be modified either by a dietary approach or by the use of pre- or pro-biotics in humans with NASH.
