Intriguing research material came to light this past week on various topics, including the connection between cognitive decline and microbes, a mice study on time-restricted eating and its potential benefits depending on age and gender or how focusing on mitochondria might help fight obesity in the future. The highlights:
Study reveals missing link between high-fat diet, microbiota and heart diseaseA high-fat diet disrupts the biology of the gut's inner lining and its microbial communities -- and promotes the production of a metabolite that may contribute to heart disease, according to a new study.

Source: RCSI How microbes can exacerbate cognitive declineRecent research has found that changes in the gut microbiota -- the trillions of bacteria and other microbes that live in the intestines -- can alter the brain and behavior. A new study could elucidate how and why that phenomenon occurs.

A new study further shows that TRE confers multiple health benefits besides weight loss. The study also shows that these benefits may depend on sex and age.
