Mental health refers to the well-being of people in relation to their emotional, psychological, social state and how this individual performs their tasks, copes with the normal stress of life, makes decisions and relates to their community. Recent studies have shown that the incidence of diseases linked to people's mental health condition has increased worldwide due to the 2019 Coronaviru…
Human milk is a rich source of microorganisms for the developing infant gut. Considering the importance of early gut colonization and later infant health, breastmilk microbiota is extremely important. Isolating new potential probiotics (Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium) from breast milk is attractive as several microbes transferred from the mother to infant derive from breast milk. Sever…
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DMT2) is a highly prevalent metabolic disorder, with genetic constituents, high-fat, high-energy eating habits and a sedentary lifestyle being three main factors that contribute to the high risk of type 2 diabetes. studies have reported dysbiosis of the intestinal microbiome as a factor in the rapid progression of insulin resistance in DMT2, responsible for about…

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) currently represent serious public health problems throughout the world. In recent years, the interest of the scientific community has increased in trying to understand the role played by the intestinal microbiota in the body's health and the relationship between its composition and the emergence of NCDs, in order to develop less aggressive therapeutic app…
Psychobiotics are probiotics and/or prebiotics that, when ingested in appropriate quantities, yield positive psychiatric effects in psychopathology. Recent studies have shown that psychobiotics administration may be an effective therapy for the treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) by modulating the microbiota-gut-brain axis. The objective of this project is to evaluate the effect o…
The obesity has been considered, nowadays, one of the most frequent pathologies, and its etiology and treatment is related to lifestyle and eating habits. Prebiotics and bioactive compounds present in waste of tropical fruits have the potential to promote the modulation of intestinal microbiota providing many benefits to the health of the host, including the reduction of obesity risk. The…
Probiotics are microorganisms that benefit human health. Prebiotics are organic compounds that the human body cannot digest. They are used as a substrate for the probiotics helping them. Some prebiotic and bioactive compounds show the capacity to boost microorganism resistance against adverse conditions to the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), allowing the probiotic to be viable by the end of…

A large body of preclinical literature supports the notion of a bidirectional communication system linking the gut and the brain, known as the gut-microbiota-brain axis. Recent evidence indicates that gut microbes can modulate central nervous system (CNS)-driven behaviors in a very powerful way. Thus, the administration of probiotics is emerging as novel potential non-invasive therapeutic…
The human intestinal epithelium is a barrier between the outside and the inside preventing harmful substances from entering the body. Studies have shown that increased intestinal permeability is associated with several disorders such as obesity. The gut microbiota target various intracellular pathways and regulate intestinal barrier function as well as the presence of some prebiotics fibe…
