    Abstract Iron is critical for the appearance and maintenance of life on Earth. Almost all organisms compete or cooperate for iron acquisition, demonstrating the importance of this essential element for the biological and physiological processes that are key for the preservation of metabolic homeostasis. In humans and other mammals, the bidirectional interactions between the bacterial component of the gut microbiota and the host for iron acquisition shape both host and microbiota metabolism. Bacterial functions influence host iron absorption, whereas the intake of iron, iron deficiency and iron excess in the host affect bacterial biodiversity, taxonomy and function, resulting in changes in bacterial virulence. These consequences of the host-microbial crosstalk affect systemic levels of iron, its storage in different tissues and host glucose metabolism. At the interface between the host and the microbiota, alterations in the host innate immune system and in circulating soluble factors that regulate iron (that is, hepcidin, lipocalin 2 and lactoferrin) are associated with metabolic disease. In fact, patients with obesity-associated metabolic dysfunction and insulin resistance exhibit dysregulation in iron homeostasis and alterations in their gut microbiota profile. From an evolutionary point of view, the pursuit of two important nutrients - glucose and iron - has probably driven human evolution towards the most efficient pathways and genes for human survival and health.

    Abstract Thanks to the emergence and recent advances in high‐throughput sequencing technologies, it is becoming more evident every day that changes in the microbiome composition are linked to a myriad of health conditions. Despite this, the mechanisms of host–microbiota signalling remain largely unknown. The microbiome has an extensive metabolic activity that leads to the generation of a large number of compounds that are likely to influence host health. Therefore, the microbiome–host cross‐talk is in part mediated by microbial‐derived metabolites. Unlike metagenomics, which only provides information about microbial genes and thus the microbiome functional potential, metabolic phenotyping is well suited to capture their actual metabolic activity. Here, we provide an overview of these approaches and propose an integration of metagenomics, as a microbiome compositional readout, with faecal and plasma/urine metabolomics, as a functional readout, to unravel novel mechanisms linking the microbiome to host health and disease.

    Abstract The human gut microbiota is known to be shaped by a variety of environmental factors (diet, drugs, geography and sanitation) and host intrinsic factors (age and sexual development). The differences in gut microbiota between sexes are minimal before adulthood and late adulthood, and marked during adulthood. For instance, consistent higher abundances of Akkermansia and Ruminococcus have been observed in adult women compared to men and most studies have found higher abundances of Prevotella and Fusobacterium (linked to a diet rich in animal proteins) in adult men compared to women. The gut microbiota taxonomy and functionality present in women is more similar to men once reached the menopause. In fact, specific taxa have been associated with the levels of different sexual hormones and their precursors in blood. The gut microbiota composition and circulating testosterone levels are also tightly linked to the extent that microbial signatures can predict its levels in blood. Not only sexual hormones seem to influence the gut microbiome, but also the latter participates in the metabolism of these hormones, with some bacteria being able to metabolize gonadal steroid hormones (one example is 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, a testosterone degrading enzyme). In summary, the relationships between the gut microbiome and sexual traits are bidirectional. In addition, other phenotypes and cultural gender-related factors could drive sex-related differences. It is important to note that other members of the microbiome (Archeae, viruses and fungi) have been largely unexplored in relation to this sexual dimorphism. More research is needed on this topic.

    Abstract The consumption of diets rich in saturated fats is known to be associated with higher mortality. The adoption of healthy habits, for instance adhering to a Mediterranean diet, has proved to exert a preventive effect towards cardiovascular diseases and dyslipidemia. Little is known about how a suboptimal diet can affect brain function, structure, and the mechanisms involved. The aims of this study were to examine how a high-fat diet can alter the brain N-glycan and lipid profile in male Golden Syrian hamsters and to evaluate the potential of a Mediterranean-like diet to reverse this situation. During twelve weeks, hamsters were fed a normal fat diet (CTRL group), a high-fat diet (HFD group), and a high-fat diet followed by a Mediterranean-like diet (MED group). Out of seventy-two identified N-glycans, fourteen were significant (

    Abstract Nutritional restrictions during the first 1000 days of life can impair or delay the physical and cognitive development of the individual and have long-term consequences for their health. Metabolic phenotyping (metabolomics/metabonomics) simultaneously measures a diverse range of low molecular weight metabolites in a sample providing a comprehensive assessment of the individual’s biochemical status. There are a growing number of studies applying such approaches to characterize the metabolic derangements induced by various forms of early-life malnutrition. This includes acute and chronic undernutrition and specific micronutrient deficiencies. Collectively, these studies highlight the diverse and dynamic metabolic disruptions resulting from various forms of nutritional deficiencies. Perturbations were observed in many pathways including those involved in energy, amino acid, and bile acid metabolism, the metabolic interactions between the gut microbiota and the host, and changes in metabolites associated with gut health. The information gleaned from such studies provides novel insights into the mechanisms linking malnutrition with developmental impairments and assists in the elucidation of candidate biomarkers to identify individuals at risk of developmental shortfalls. As the metabolic profile represents a snapshot of the biochemical status of an individual at a given time, there is great potential to use this information to tailor interventional strategies specifically to the metabolic needs of the individual.
