The big question that researchers are asking for the time being is what determines the composition of gut bacteria and whether this can be changed to promote health. Now a new study shows that the composition of gut bacteria very much depends on the physiological and environmental conditions in the gut. And this composition affect health and the risk of developing many diseases. Our knowledge of the links between environmental factors in the human body, bacteria and health has risen, says Associate Professor Henrik Munch Roager.

Ifølge både @Uniavisen og vores lektor Henrik Munch Roager er tarmen det nye sort. Hvad det sådan mere specifikt betyder kan du læse om i nedenstående artikel - og din rejse gennem tarmen begynder lige her 👇 uniavisen.dk/tarmen-er-det-n… 💩🦠💩🦠💩🦠 @koebenhavns_uni @HRoager

All people are unique – also in the gut A new study increases our knowledge about the gut and the life of gut bacteria. The study shows that changes in the gut environment have an impact on the composition and activity of gut bacteria. Ultimately, this may help explain why we all have different gut bacteria and probably also why we react differently to the same food. According to Associate Professor Henrik Munch Roager the new knowledge could be very useful for future nutritional guidelines. ”Our results show that we are all unique – also in our gut," says Henrik Roager and continues: "We are used to assuming that we all digest and absorb food in the same way and to the same extent, but we can also see that this is not always the case. Our study provides further evidence that individuals react differently to food – and here differences in our gut environment could very well play an important role.” Read more here 👇 nexs.ku.dk/english/news/2024… Among authors are @nicolaproch @HRoager @MartinF_Laursen @jeroenraes @RaesLab 👏👏 @NatureMicrobiol @UCPH_Research @foodDTUdk @DTUtweet @science_ku
