Summary: This study investigated the difference in allergenicity between chicken egg and duck egg ovalbumin. It was found that chicken ovalbumin induced a stronger allergic reaction compared to duck ovalbumin, while duck ovalbumin showed a milder immune response and maintained the integrity of the intestinal barrier. Furthermore, cross-reactions were observed with consumption of duck ovalbumin in chicken ovalbumin allergic mice, but the allergic symptoms were milder.

Summary: Food allergy is a significant public health and food safety issue caused by an amplified immune reaction to food antigens. Probiotics, such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, have been suggested as a potential strategy for alleviating allergic diseases. This study found that Leuconostoc mesenteroides strain WHH1141 improved food allergy symptoms and normalized immune responses in a mouse model. WHH1141 also restored gut microbiome composition and short-chain fatty acid levels, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic intervention for food allergy.

Summary: Gut microbiota affects the occurrence of food allergies by producing metabolites and modulating the immune system. This study found that specific metabolites and bacterial groups may be associated with the regulation of allergic responses in an ovalbumin-sensitive mouse model through metabolomic and microbiomic analyses.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of Pediococcus acidilactici XZ31 on wheat-induced allergy. The results showed that P. acidilactici XZ31 attenuated allergic responses, regulated immune balance, and reduced gluten-specific IgE production. It also modulated gut microbiota and increased the abundance of beneficial bacteria. This research provides a new strategy for treating wheat allergy.

Summary: The mouse model is valuable for studying IgE responses to food proteins. Intraperitoneal administration of protein triggers more robust and consistent IgE responses compared to intragastric administration. This study provides scientific evidence for the development of a reproducible mouse model for evaluating food allergies.

Summary: Specific gut bacteria, such as Escherichia coli from the Enterobacteriaceae family, play a key role in suppressing sorbitol-induced diarrhea by degrading sorbitol in the intestine. The findings suggest that the gut microbiota's ability to respond to and break down sugar alcohols has implications for microbiome science, processed food science, and public health.

Summary: The study showed that whole powder and polysaccharide from Sporisorium reilianum improved disease and colon tissue structure in mice with DSS-induced colitis. The composition and diversity of gut microbiota were significantly increased, promoting the recovery of intestinal mucosal structure. These findings suggest the potential of S. reilianum as a functional food to prevent colitis through the gut microbiota.

Summary: The search for an animal model to assess the allergenic potential of processed food products is ongoing. Researchers evaluated sensitization to ovalbumin (OVA) in different structural states and the allergic response triggered after intra-gastric or food challenges. The proposed murine model of egg allergy holds the potential for evaluating the impact of food matrix composition and processing on the threshold of egg-allergic responses.
