@DurganDave Wonderful work. I have been looking forward to read this study. I am glad it is out now.

See how intermittent fasting altered the gut microbioba, cecal and plasma metabolome in this paper! Well done! Restructuring the Gut Microbiota by Intermittent Fasting Lowers Blood Pressure https://t.co/et2oaHRQW6

@DurganDave Excellent! We are looking forward to novels ways to treat #hypertension #HYPHIP

[Dave Durgan @dave_durgan]

@NakagawaPablo Pre and probiotics are generally well tolerated, bloating being one of the main side effects. Severely immunocompromised individuals should avoid probiotics without first consulting their physician. #HYPHIP

[Bhanu Priya Ganesh @PriyaGUTScience]

@NakagawaPablo There are no potential serious side effects that are reported, but it is known to cause mild bloating due to increased gas production due to fermentation of fibers by gut commensals. May be people who have IBS might.consult before taking these. #HYPHIP

[Pablo Nakagawa @NakagawaPablo]

Q10: If your study can be translated to the clinical use. Do you expect any side effect of prebiotic, probiotic, or acetate supplementations? Any contraindication for specific populations? #HYPHIP

[Georg Ehret, MD FESC FAHA @georgehret]

@DurganDave @brandimwynne @HyperAHA Hi Dave, Q9: What may be further next steps regarding the human? Acetate is a small molecule #HYPHIP

[Francisco Rios @fjorios]

@DurganDave @HyperAHA @UofGVPAnna @ScienceNews Great. I`m looking forward to see the data #HYPHIP

[Brandi Wynne, MS PhD FAHA @brandimwynne]

@DurganDave @HyperAHA So, have you ever checked to see if there’s a profession, ie, pre-hypertension? #HYPHIP @HyperAHA

[Carmen De Miguel, PhD, MS, FAHA @Carmendemigue12]

Q7. In this paper you showed a preventive effect of the pro and prebiotics. Do we know if they could reverse the hypertension associated with HF + OSA? #HYPHIP @HyperAHA

[Dave Durgan @dave_durgan]

@NakagawaPablo Other studies show benefits of probiotics in metabolic disorders. In our studies we expose to HFD for a relatively short period (3 wks at onset of OSA) to avoid the confounders of metabolic disorders. We did not observe any change in body weight with any of our treatments #HYPHIP

[Dave Durgan @dave_durgan]

@fjorios @HyperAHA @UofGVPAnna @ScienceNews We are currently looking at the immune response in gut following OSA and pre or probiotic treatment #HYPHIP

[Francisco Rios @fjorios]

Q8. @DurganDave, Do you have data related to activation phenotype of the immune cells present in the gut of the HFD OSP? #HYPHIP #AHAJournals @HyperAHA @UofGVPAnna @ScienceNews

[Dave Durgan @dave_durgan]

@Carmendemigue12 @HyperAHA This is a great question, and one which we are exploring. My thought is that the reversibility is going to be dependent on the stage of disease progression. #HYPHIP

[Dave Durgan @dave_durgan]

@brandimwynne @HyperAHA In our previous study we transplanted the biota from a hypertensive rat to a normotensive and observed an increase in BP, demonstrating a causal role for dysbiosis in HT. https://t.co/JzMWnSa4EC #HYPHIP

@NakagawaPablo @KirthikaaB @fjorios @HyperAHA @UofGVPAnna @ScienceNews It would be interesting to look at leptin, we have not done so. #HYPHIP
