The gut microbiota has the capacity to affect host appetite via intestinal satiety pathways, as
well as complex feeding behaviors. In this Review, we highlight recent evidence that the gut …

The gut harbors an enormous diversity of microbes that are essential for the maintenance of
homeostasis in health and disease. A growing body of evidence supports the role of this …

The gut microbiota plays a key role in modulating host physiology and behavior, particularly
feeding behavior and energy homeostasis. There is accumulating evidence demonstrating a …

Inappropriate food intake behavior is one of the main drivers for fat mass development
leading to obesity. Importantly the gut microbiota-mediated signals have emerged as key …

The accumulating evidence linking bacteria in the gut and neurons in the brain (the
microbiota–gut–brain axis) has led to a paradigm shift in the neurosciences. Understanding …

Gut microbiota play an important role in maintaining intestinal health and are involved in the
metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, and amino acids. Recent studies have shown that the …

Feelings of hunger and satiety are the key determinants for maintaining the life of humans
and animals. Disturbed appetite control may disrupt the metabolic health of the host and …

The gut microbiota–the trillions of bacteria that reside within the gastrointestinal tract–has
been found to not only be an essential component immune and metabolic health, but also …

Obesity is a multifactorial disease that continues to increase in prevalence worldwide.
Emerging evidence has shown that the development of obesity may be influenced by …

Background Physical and mental health is dependent on the environment, and feeding is a
prime example of this environmental exchange. While the hypothalamus controls both …
