The microbiota of Westerners is significantly reduced in comparison to rural individuals living a similar lifestyle to our Paleolithic forefathers but also to that of other free-living primates such as the chimpanzee. The great majority of ingredients in the industrially produced foods consumed in the West are absorbed in the upper part of small intestine and thus of limited benefit to the microbiota...
Forkhead box O (FoxO) proteins function primarily as transcription factors in the nucleus where they bind to their cognate DNA targeting sequences. FoxO regulated genes include those involved in cellular stress responses, inflammation and apoptosis; all of which are involved in the processes of human labour and delivery. We have previously identified Forkhead box O4 (FoxO4) proteins in human gestational...
Exposure to Listeria monocytogenes during pregnancy can result in spontaneous abortion and stillbirths; however, the mechanisms are unknown. Our objective was to determine the effects of infection on specific inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine mRNA expression and apoptosis in the placenta after infection with L. monocytogenes. Pregnant guinea pigs were treated on gestation day (gd) 35 with...
