Lactic acid {90000433} Record Keys Parent:[ ] Definition:Lactic acid Queue:[ ] Details Initialisation date:[ ] Specification: [ ]Source: [ ] Meta Information Structural Type:[ ] Functional Type:[ ] Function:[ ] Notes: [ ]Shared Reference Notes [1.1] [#Limosilactobacillus (Lactobacillus) reuteri] [#UV radiation] - Lactic acid secreted by Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17,938 can protect skin from UVB by suppressing pro-inflammatory #IL-6 and IL-8 cytokines. [1.2] [#Inflamatory bowel disease] - Patients with IBD have lower fecal levels of #Acetate, #Propionate and #Butyrate, and higher levels of lactic and #Pyruvic acids than healthy individuals [1.3] [#Obesity] [#Olive] - in humans, EVOO has prebiotic effects, promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria such as #Lactobacillus and #Bifidobacterium. Specifically, a #Mediterranean diet supplemented with 40 g/day EVOO for 3 months administered to 18 overweight/obese participants resulted in significantly increased levels of lactic acid bacteria compared to baseline. [1.4] [#Escherichia coli] - Lactic acid bacteria, such as #Lactobacilli and #Bifidobacteria, which can enhance the production of mucin in human IECs and cause hinderance for the invasion of enteropathogenic E. coli [1.5] [#Aromatic amino acid] - #Bifidobacterium species is the main producers of aromatic lactic acids in #Infants’ gut [1.6] [#Parkinson’s Disease] - The enrichment of #Lactate production pathway is consistent with the increase of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in PD patients [1.7] - The #Kombucha microbiota, was mainly comprised of lactic acid bacteria, #Acetic acid bacteria, and yeast, [1.8] [#Normal Vaginal condition] - Type 5 is dominated by #Lactobacillus jensenii which produces antimicrobial bacteriocins and D-lactic acid. - It’s rare but associated with good health, found in less than 10% of vaginas in research studies. [1.9] - #Bifidobacteria can ferment fibre and produce the metabolites #Acetic acid, lactic acid, B vitamins and antibacterial molecules, making it an ideal choice for a #Probiotic - #lactulose exerts its beneficial effects on #Hepatic encephalopathy through different pathways. - First, the product of #lactulose fermentation is lactic acid, which is able to reduce the colonic lumen pH by releasing H+. - The #Ammonia in the gut reacts with proton and produces ammonium. This conversion develops a concentration gradient that increases the amount of #Ammonia reuptake from the blood into the gastrointestinal tract. - Second, in the presence of #lactulose in the gastrointestinal tract, the bacteria utilize the energy of #lactulose fermentation instead of the conversion of amino acids to #Ammonia energy. - Third, #lactulose can inhibit glutaminase and prevent the production of #Ammonia from #Glutamine. - Finally, #lactulose shortens the colonic transit time. Thus, it can reduce the level of #Ammonia in the gastrointestinal tract. [#Lactobacillus] [#Flavonoid] - flavanols can stimulate lactic acid bacteria. [1.11] - Some oral bacteria belonging to genera #Lactobacillus, #Lactococcus, #Bifidobacterium, #Streptococcus, #Leuconostoc, and #Pediococcus produce lactic acid [1.12] [#Genome] - In addition to #Bifidobacterium and #Lactobacillus, our study found a significant enrichment of #Streptococcus, a lactic acid-producing bacteria, in patients with #Ulcerative Colitis (UC). - This is in contrast to the majority of earlier studies from west. - This increase in #Streptococcus abundance has also been observed in UC patients from different populations. [#Ulcerative Colitis] [#Short Chain Fatty Acid] - A significant loss of SCFA-producing microbes and the concurrent increase in #Nitrate-reducing bacteria in UC patients favor a shift towards a proinflammatory microbiome > enrichment of lactic acid-producing bacteria is a consequence of increased inflammation. [1.13] - aerobic glycolysis and lactic acid production are principal features of astrocytes. - astrocyte-derived lactic acid is assimilated by the neurons and re-converted to pyruvic acid to drive the mitochondrial respiratory chain. [1.14] - Othe peptide antimicrobials include the #Colicins of #Escherichia coli, the #Pyocins of #Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the #Halocins of #Halobacteria, #Subtilin of #Bacillus subtilis, the #Lantibiotics of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), and other #Bacteriocins. [1.15] [#Cancer] [#Probiotic] - similar L-#Lactate-producing lactic acid #Bacteria commensal to other body sites are also significantly associated with survival in colorectal, lung, head and neck, and skin cancers. [#Cancer] [#Probiotic] - that lactic acid bacteria in the tumor microenvironment can alter tumor metabolism and #Lactate signaling pathways, causing therapeutic resistance. - an obligate L-#Lactate-producing lactic acid bacterium found in tumors, #Lactobacillus iners, is associated with decreased survival in patients, induces chemotherapy and radiation resistance in #Cervical cancer cells, and leads to metabolic rewiring, or alterations in multiple metabolic pathways, in tumors. [1.16] - #Lactococcus produces several antimicrobial substances, including lactic acid, #Hydrogen peroxide - #Lactococcus > excellent #Lactose-fermenting bacteria breaks down #Lactose to produce lactic acid, which is particularly beneficial for individuals with #Lactose intolerance [1.17] - #Copper beads > #Enterobacteriaceae (EB) increased, while lactic acid bacteria (LAB) decreased during the treatment period. - When beads were removed from the feed, EB and LAB concentrations returned to baseline. - #Copper bead supplementation > increase in #Firmicutes, #Euryarchaeota, and #Acidobacteriota, while at the genus level, an increase in #Methanosphaera and #Pseudomonas was observed.References Notes[ ]
