The gut microbiota produce hundreds of bioactive compounds, including B‐vitamins, which
play significant physiological roles in hosts by supporting the fitness of symbiotic species …

Nine compounds are classified as water-soluble vitamins, eight B vitamins and one vitamin
C. The vitamins are mandatory for the function of numerous enzymes and lack of one or …

Objectives Gut microbiota is a key component in obesity and type 2 diabetes, yet
mechanisms and metabolites central to this interaction remain unclear. We examined the …

Ascorbic acid (AA) accumulation in intestinal epithelial cells is an active transport process
mainly mediated by two sodium-dependent vitamin C transporters (SVCT-1 and SVCT-2). To …

This study investigated the effect of the bacterial endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on
colonic uptake of thiamin pyrophosphate (TPP), the biologically active form of vitamin B1 that …

Background There is strong evidence that alcoholism leads to dysbiosis in both humans and
animals. However, it is unclear how changes in the intestinal microbiota (IM) relate to …

The serine/threonine protein kinase CK2 is implicated in the regulation of fundamental
processes in eukaryotic cells. CK2 consists of two catalytic α or α'isoforms and two …

The intestinal microbial composition and metabolic functions under normal physiological
conditions in the donkey are crucial for health and production performance. However …

Abstract Purpose of Review The relationship between colonic bacteria and the host is
symbiotic, but how communication between the two partners occurs is just beginning to be …

Vitamin B7 (biotin) is essential for normal health and its deficiency/suboptimal levels occur in
a variety of conditions including chronic alcoholism. Mammals, including humans, obtain …
