• Dietary a-lactalbumin alters energy balance, gut microbiota composition and intestinal nutrient transporter expression in high-fat diet-fed mice 

  Boscaini, Serena; Cabrera-Rubio, Raul; Speakman, John R.; Cotter, Paul D.; Cryan, John F.; Nilaweera, Kanishka N. (Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2019-05-28)

  Recently there has been a considerable rise in the frequency of metabolic diseases, such as obesity, due to changes in lifestyle and resultant imbalances between energy intake and expenditure. Whey proteins are considered ...
• Prenatal maternal stress and risk of neurodevelopmental disorders in the offspring: a systematic review and meta-analysis 

  Manzari, Nicla; Matvienko-Sikar, Karen; Baldoni, Franco; O'Keeffe, Gerard W.; Khashan, Ali S. (Springer Nature Switzerland AG, 2019-07-20)

  Purpose: Exposure to prenatal stress has been reported to affect the risk of adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes in the offspring; however, there is currently no clear consensus. The aim of this systematic review and ...
• Microbiota and neurodevelopmental trajectories: role of maternal and early-life nutrition 

  Codagnone, Martin G.; Stanton, Catherine; O'Mahony, Siobhain M.; Dinan, Timothy G.; Cryan, John F. (Karger Publishers, 2019-06-24)

  Pregnancy and early life are characterized by marked changes in body microbial composition. Intriguingly, these changes take place simultaneously with neurodevelopmental plasticity, suggesting a complex dialogue between ...
• Mid-life microbiota crises: middle age is associated with pervasive neuroimmune alterations that are reversed by targeting the gut microbiome 

  Boehme, Marcus; van de Wouw, Marcel; Bastiaanssen, Thomaz F. S.; Olavarría-Ramírez, Loreto; Lyons, Katriona; Fouhy, Fiona; Golubeva, Anna V.; Moloney, Gerard M.; Minuto, Chiara; Sandhu, Kiran V.; Scott, Karen A.; Clarke, Gerard; Stanton, Catherine; Dinan, Timothy G.; Schellekens, Harriët; Cryan, John F. (Springer Nature Publishing AG, 2019-05-16)

  Male middle age is a transitional period where many physiological and psychological changes occur leading to cognitive and behavioural alterations, and a deterioration of brain function. However, the mechanisms underpinning ...
• Resilience to chronic stress is associated with specific neurobiological, neuroendocrine and immune responses 

  Gururajan, Anand; van de Wouw, Marcel; Boehme, Marcus; Becker, Thorsten; O'Connor, Rory; Bastiaanssen, Thomaz F. S.; Moloney, Gerard M.; Lyte, Joshua M.; Ventura Silva, Ana Paula; Merckx, Barbara; Dinan, Timothy G.; Cryan, John F. (Elsevier Inc., 2019-05-03)

  Research into the molecular basis of stress resilience is a novel strategy to identify potential therapeutic strategies to treat stress-induced psychopathologies such as anxiety and depression. Stress resilience is a ...
