1. The International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics consensus statement on the scope and appropriate use of the term probioticNature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology · 2014 · 9,596 citations

   Probiotics are widely regarded as live microorganisms that, when administered in sufficient amounts, confer a health benefit, but guidance is needed on the most appropriate use of the term. This Consensus Statement outlines recommendations for the scope and definition of…

2. Metabolic Endotoxemia Initiates Obesity and Insulin ResistanceDiabetes · 2007 · 6,698 citations

   Diabetes and obesity are two metabolic diseases characterized by insulin resistance and a low-grade inflammation. Seeking an inflammatory factor causative of the onset of insulin resistance, obesity, and diabetes, we have identified bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as a triggering factor. We…

3. Expert consensus document: The International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP) consensus statement on the definition and scope of prebioticsNature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology · 2017 · 5,620 citations

   With the continued interest in the role of the gut microbiota in health, attention has now turned to how to harness the microbiota for the benefit of the host. This Consensus Statement outlines the definition and scope of the term…

4. Host-Gut Microbiota Metabolic InteractionsScience · 2012 · 4,864 citations

   The composition and activity of the gut microbiota codevelop with the host from birth and is subject to a complex interplay that depends on the host genome, nutrition, and life-style. The gut microbiota is involved in the regulation of multiple…

5. Direct Analysis of Genes Encoding 16S rRNA from Complex Communities Reveals Many Novel Molecular Species within the Human GutApplied and Environmental Microbiology · 1999 · 1,496 citations

   The human intestinal tract harbors a complex microbial ecosystem which plays a key role in nutrition and health. Although this microbiota has been studied in great detail by culture techniques, microscopic counts on human feces suggest that 60 to 80%…
