High intake of vegetables is linked to lower white blood cell profile and the effect is mediated by the gut microbiome (2021)
Journal Article

Background: Chronic inflammation, which can be modulated by diet, is linked to high white blood cell counts and correlates with higher cardiometabolic risk and risk of more severe infections, as in the case of COVID-19. Methods: Here, we assessed th... Read More about High intake of vegetables is linked to lower white blood cell profile and the effect is mediated by the gut microbiome.

Microbiome connections with host metabolism and habitual diet from 1,098 deeply phenotyped individuals (2021)
Journal Article

The gut microbiome is shaped by diet and influences host metabolism; however, these links are complex and can be unique to each individual. We performed deep metagenomic sequencing of 1,203 gut microbiomes from 1,098 individuals enrolled in the Perso...

Serum metabolites reflecting gut microbiome alpha diversity predict type 2 diabetes (2020)
Journal Article

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with reduced gut microbiome diversity, although the cause is unclear. Metabolites generated by gut microbes also appear to be causative factors in T2D. We therefore searched for serum metabolites predictive of gut... Read More about Serum metabolites reflecting gut microbiome alpha diversity predict type 2 diabetes.
