Individual differences in the microbiome and metabolome during circadian misalignment and sleep restriction

Prof. Kenneth Wright from the University of Colorado Boulder, USA will give a short oral presentation on Individual differences in the microbiome and metabolome during circadian misalignment and sleep restriction: associations with the ability to maintain wakefulness during 6th World Congress on Targeting Microbiota 2018 Congress which will be held in Porto,  on October 28-30, 2018.

Summary of presentation: "Circadian and sleep disruption are common in modern society with round the clock work operations in shift-workers and due to many people sleeping less than the recommended amount of hours each night.  Circadian misalignment—behaviors such as wakefulness-sleep and energy intake-fasting that occur at inappropriate internal biological times—and sleep loss are ideal conditions under which to study the microbiota-gut-brain axis as circadian misalignment and sleep loss are associated with gastrointestinal distress, metabolic dysregulation, and cognitive impairment. Findings from a study aimed to determine the influence of circadian and sleep disruption on 1) the microbiota-gut-brain axis, 2) the stability of individual differences in the microbiome, the microbiome metabolome, and human host physiology/behavior, and 3) associations between alterations in microbiome metabolome with an objective measure of alertness will be presented."
