“…Lactobacillus plantarum supplementation has been shown to reduce anxiety- and depression-like behaviours in rodents 27 – 29 . Supplementation with Lactobacillus reuteri reduced stress-induced anxiety-like behaviours 30 and restored disturbed social behaviour in mice with an unbalanced gut microbiota 31 . Meta-analyses also suggest that probiotic supplementation in humans can reduce subjective stress levels without altering cortisol levels 32 and has antidepressant and anxiolytic effects 33 .…”

Gut microbes play an important role in regulating brain processes and influence behaviour, cognition and emotional states in humans and rodents. Nevertheless, it is not known how ingestion of beneficial microbes modulates emotional states in piglets and whether it can improve welfare. Here we use an attention bias task to assess the effects of Lactobacillus reuteri ATCC-PTA-6475 and Lactobacillus plantarum L1-6 supplementation early in life on emotional states in 33 piglets compared to 31 placebo supplemented piglets. We hypothesized that Lactobacillus supplementation would reduce vigilance behaviour (head at shoulder height or higher) and attention (head oriented towards the threat) in response to an auditory threat. The results showed that the control group increased vigilance behaviour in response to the threat, but there was no increase in the probiotics group. Despite the increased vigilance, the control group paid less attention to the threat. One explanation may be that control piglets avoided looking in the direction of the threat just because they perceived it as more threatening, but further research is necessary to confirm this. In conclusion, Lactobacillus supplementation may be a suitable tool to reduce anxiety, promote a more appropriate response to a challenge and so improve welfare.

“…The Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey indicated that vitamin D insufficiency is among the risk factors of dental caries in permanent dentition in children and adolescent girls (Jang, Lee, & Park, 2019; Kim, Lee, Ju, Na, & Oh, 2018). Vitamin D is available in two forms: cholecalciferol and ergocalciferol.…”

Objectives We investigated whether 25‐hydroxyvitamin D concentration is independently associated with dental caries among adults in the United States. Subjects and Methods This investigation was a cross‐sectional study. A total of 4,244 participants (aged 20–80 years) were enrolled through the 2007–2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Serum 25‐hydroxyvitamin D was categorized into four groups based on previous studies: normal (≥75 nmol/ml), insufficient (50–74.9 nmol/ml), deficient (25–49.9 nmol/ml), and severely deficient (<25 nmol/ml). The dependent and independent variables included dental caries and serum 25‐hydroxyvitamin D, respectively. The data were analyzed using univariate analyses, multivariable‐adjusted analyses, and subgroup analyses. Results The fully adjusted model showed that 25‐hydroxyvitamin D levels were negatively associated with dental caries after adjusting for the confounders (OR = 0.93, 95% CI 0.89 to 0.98). Compared with the normal group, the likelihood of dental caries was 2.48, 1.29, and 1.43 times higher in the severely deficient, deficient, and insufficient groups, respectively. Conclusions Our findings suggest that serum 25‐hydroxyvitamin D levels are significantly associated with the occurrence of dental caries among US adults.

“…Weight and height were measured with the participants wearing no shoes and were used to define BMI. The World Health Organization criteria were used in the present study for the Chinese population and 3 BMI (kg/m 2 ) categories were provided as follows: normal weight (18.5-22.9 kg/m 2 ), overweight (22.9-24.9 kg/m 2 ), and obese (>25.0 kg/m 2 ) ( 20 ). The grip strength of both hands was determined with a hand dynamometer and five-times-sit-to-stand test (FTSST) was used to evaluate the physical function.…”

Effects of obesity with reduced 25(OH)D levels on bone health in elderly Chinese people: a nationwide cross-sectional study

et al. 2023

BackgroundObesity is often accompanied by lower 25(OH)D levels, whereas these two parameters exhibit opposite effects on bone health. It is uncertain what are the effects of lower 25(OH)D levels in obesity on bone health in elderly Chinese people.MethodsA nationally representative cross-sectional analysis of China Community-based Cohort of Osteoporosis (CCCO) was performed from 2016 to 2021, which consisted of 22,081 participants. Demographic data, disease history, Body mass index (BMI), bone mineral density (BMD), the levels of the biomarkers of vitamin D status and those of bone metabolism markers were measured for all participants (N = 22,081). The genes (rs12785878, rs10741657, rs4588, rs7041, rs2282679 and rs6013897) related to 25(OH)D transportation and metabolism were performed in a selected subgroup (N = 6008).ResultsObese subjects exhibited lower 25(OH)D levels (p < 0.05) and higher BMD (p < 0.001) compared with those of normal subjects following adjustment. The genotypes and allele frequency of rs12785878, rs10741657, rs6013897, rs2282679, rs4588 and rs7041 indicated no significant differences among three BMI groups following correction by the Bonferroni’s method (p > 0.05). The levels of total 25(OH)D (ToVD) were significantly different among the GC1F, GC1S and GC2 haplotype groups (p < 0.05). Correlation analysis indicated that ToVD levels were significantly correlated with parathyroid hormone levels, BMD, risk of osteoporosis (OP) and the concentration levels of other bone metabolism markers (p < 0.05). Generalized varying coefficient models demonstrated that the increasing BMI, ToVD levels and their interactions were positively associated with BMD outcomes (p < 0.001), whereas the reduced levels of ToVD and BMI increased the risk of OP, which was noted notably for the subjects with reduced ToVD levels (less than 20.69 ng/ml) combined with decreased BMI (less than 24.05 kg/m2).ConclusionThere was a non-linear interaction of BMI and 25(OH)D. And higher BMI accompanied by decreased 25(OH)D levels is associated with increased BMD and decreased incidence of OP, optimal ranges exist for BMI and 25(OH)D levels. The cutoff value of BMI at approximately 24.05 kg/m2 combined with an approximate value of 25(OH)D at 20.69 ng/ml are beneficial for Chinese elderly subjects.
