  1. 11. The effect of imperfect resource conversion and recurring perturbations on byproduct cross- feeding chains in digital communities

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Filippa Frejborg; [2021]
    Keywords : byproduct cross-feeding; cross-feeding interactions; digital evolution; digital organisms; gut microbiome; recurring perturbations; resource conversion;

    Abstract : The gut microbiome plays a vital role in human health. Disturbances of this microbial system is associated with diseases such as obesity and inflammatory bowel disease. In populations of microbial species, many organisms partake in byproduct cross-feeding interactions, where byproducts from one organism are consumed by other microbes. READ MORE

  4. 13. Effects of recurring perturbations on byproduct cross-feeding chain lengths in a digital microbiome

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Johanna Schwarz; [2021]
    Keywords : Avida; byproduct chains; cross-feeding; digital evolution; human gut-microbiome; temporal disturbance.;

    Abstract : The human gut microbiome is a complex ecosystem with hundreds of species interacting with each other and the host. One function of the microbiome is to break down undigested nutrients into smaller nutrients, sometimes available for uptake by the host. READ MORE

  5. 14. A Systematic Review of Time-Restricted Eating's Effect on Gut Microbiota and How It May Contribute to Cognitive Function

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Susanne Lind; [2021]
    Keywords : time-restricted eating; microbiota; gut-brain axis; brain-derived neurotrophic factor; butyrate;

    Abstract : Time-restricted eating is a fasting diet where the food intake is restricted to a short, typically eight-hour, window each day. It is associated with health benefits such as weight loss, improved sleep, protection against cognitive disorders, and improved cognitive function. READ MORE

  6. 15. Exercise and the microbiome : Health effects of exercise on gut microbiome modulation in healthy, prediabetic, and diabetic cohorts

    Abstract : Diabetes has caused many deaths worldwide but can be combated at least partially by diet and physical activity. The gut microbiome shows correlation with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, has modulatory effects on the immune system and implicates brain functions through the gut-brain axis, in part by microbial metabolites.
