Shared Notes

  • [1.39] 
    - Bacteroidetes trigger intestinal immune cells to release interferons. Interferons are key factors that ramp up the body’s response to viruses and help eliminate cells that are infected.
    - Bacteroidetes have a specific molecule on their cell surface called a glycolipid that causes intestinal immune cells to release antiviral interferons.

    - Obesity alters the balance of Firmicutes in non-obese individuals to Bacteroidetes phyla in obese ones.
  • [1.42] 
    - Gut-targeted delayed-release NA but not NAM produced a significant increase in the abundance of Bacteroidetes.
    - In the absence of systemic side effects, these favorable microbiome changes induced by microencapsulated delayed-release NA were associated with an improvement of biomarkers for systemic insulin sensitivity and metabolic inflammation.
