In conjunction with the Nutrition Society Spring conference, please find a range of papers across the Nutrition Society journals that look to explore the link between Nutrition and the Gut. We hope the papers selected below highlight the diverse range of research that we publish on the Gut, and have also included papers from our new Open Access journal, Gut Microbiome.
Gut Microbiome is looking for articles on the topic of 'Biotransformation of food compounds by the gut microbiota'.
This could involve the biotransformations itself, as well the impact on the microbiota and on the host - pre and pro-biotic effects would also fit into this.
If you would like to find out more about the journal, please see the interview with Kristin Verbeke, EiC of Gut Microbiome, or visit the Gut Microbiome Core homepage.
Gut Microbiome and Cardiovascular disease - "One of the ways through which our diet can influence disease is thought to be its interactions with our gut microbiome, populations of bacteria that live within our intestine."
The Nutrition Society Paper of the Month is ‘Trimethylamine N-oxide: heart of the microbiota–CVD nexus?. You can read the blog post here and access the paper for free here.
