Mediterranean diet, gut microbiota, and intestinal barrier integrity: implications for digestive and systemic health

Gut Microbiota and Human Health: The Nutrition Connection-A Systematic Review

Findings from randomized controlled trials indicate that fiber-rich, Mediterranean, and plant-based diets promote microbial diversity, enhance metabolic resilience, and reduce inflammation, and Observational studies further suggest long-term associations between these dietary patterns and reduced risks of metabolic dis...

Dietary Modulation of Gut Microbiota in Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes: A Narrative Review

Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are major metabolic disorders shaped by interactions among diet, host physiology, and the gut microbiota. Growing human evidence indicates that dietary fiber, prebiotics, probiotics, synbiotics, polyphenols, fermented foods, and Mediterranean-style dietary patterns can alter...

Osteoporosis from the perspective of the gut-bone axis: gut microbiota, metabolites, and multi-system synergistic regulation.

The Role of the Gut Microbiome in the Relationship Between the Mediterranean Diet and Cardiovascular Disease Risk

This review critically summarizes evidence linking the Mediterranean diet, gut microbiome, microbial metabolites, and cardiovascular disease risk, with emphasis on the shift from microbial taxonomy to functional pathways, multiomic integration, and translation to precision nutrition. Mediterranean diet adherence is ass...

Curcumin in inflammatory bowel disease: highlighting gut microbiota-metabolite-host interactions.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is driven by a complex interplay among epithelial barrier breakdown, immune dysregulation, microbial dysbiosis, and redox imbalance. Curcumin, a major curcuminoid from turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) and a widely used food ingredient, has attracted sustained interest as a dietary bioactive...

The Gut Microbiome–Estrogen Axis in Menopause: Implications for Body Composition, Cardiometabolic Health and Nutrition

The gut microbiome may act as a dynamic mediator linking estrogen decline with metabolic and systemic aging after menopause, however, causality, individual variability, and clinical translation remain insufficiently established.
