  Abstract Microbial Alterations and Dysbiosis: The composition and diversity of gut microbiota is an indicator of health and various groups of commensal bacteria provide health advantages as they enhance metabolism, the immune system, cancer resistance, endocrine signaling and brain function. In general, the gut microbiome remains relatively resilient over time, however, antibiotic use, erratic diet, illness and other factors can lead to alterations and dysbiosis, which weaken various elements of the barrier, causing collapse of the mucus layer that separates epithelial cells and microbiota and reduced expression of antimicrobial peptides which control bacteria including C. difficile . FMT- Invasive Gut Microbial Manipulation: FMT is administration of a form of fecal material from the donor into the intestinal tract of the recipient in order to directly modify the recipient’s gut microbial composition suitably to confer health benefits. FMT has been used to success

Abstract Researches on new molecules with the least toxic effects and better potency is on its way and more attention is being given upon medicinal plants for forcing away the above problems. Medicinal plants have been recognized as potential drug candidates. Stevia, a natural sweetener with medicinal properties and also having nutritional, therapeutic and industrial importance is being used all over the world. Stevia rebaudiana leaves are usually referred to as candy, sweet and honey leaves. Diterpene glycosides are responsible for its high sweetening potential of leaves. The phytochemical properties of bioactive chemicals present in stevia leaves are involves in maintaining the physiological functions of human body. Paper also highlights the importance of nutritional aspects of dried stevia leaves, metabolism of stevia, effects of it consumption on human health and clinical studies related to stevia ingestion. Various medicinal properties of stevia leaves discussed in

  Abstract Background: In recent years, non-bone diseases have been reported with vitamin D deficiency, one of them is type 2 diabetes, which is a group of metabolic disorders caused by insulin action deficiency. Evidences suggest that vitamin D deficiency affects the metabolic function of cells, including beta-pancreatic cells. Regarding the fact that some studies have shown the effect of vitamin D on control of type 2 diabetes, the present study aims to review on the relationship between vitamin D, glucose homeostasis and insulin resistance type 2 diabetes. Methods: This study is a review on descriptive and analytic studies which accessed data using biochemical tests, questionnaires and interviews. By using key words on vitamin D, type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance, 10 articles including descriptive-analytic, cross-sectional, case-control and interventional types from 1986 to 2018 were conducted. Results: Many studies have shown that vitamin D levels o

  Abstract Type 1 diabetes is an auto-immune disorder commonly occurring in the young. The exact cause of this type of diabetes is not yet known and most people suffering from this chronic illness do not know how to manage and avoid diabetic complications. Parents lack knowledge to help their child manage Type 1 diabetes leading to depression. The author herself is diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and most explanations reported in this paper are from her personal experience and research. She hopes it will provide a better understanding and control of this disorder for those suffering from it.  Read More About This Article: https://juniperpublishers.com/crdoj/CRDOJ.MS.ID.555817.php Read More Juniper Publishers Google Scholar Articles:  https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=KKJjfyEAAAAJ&citation_for_view=KKJjfyEAAAAJ:DIubQTN3OvUC
