The role of the intestinal microbiota as a regulator of gut-brain axis signalling has risen to
prominence in recent years. Understanding the relationship between the gut microbiota, the …

A substantial body of evidence supports that the gut microbiota plays a pivotal role in the
regulation of metabolic, endocrine and immune functions. In recent years, there has been …

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), the main metabolites produced by bacterial fermentation of
dietary fibre in the gastrointestinal tract, are speculated to have a key role in microbiota–gut …

Emerging evidence supports that the gut microbiome, reconsidered as a new organ in the
human body, can not only affect the local gut, but also communicate with the brain via …

Key points Chronic (psychosocial) stress changes gut microbiota composition, as well as
inducing behavioural and physiological deficits. The microbial metabolites short‐chain fatty …

The gut–brain axis (GBA) is the umbrella term to include all bidirectional communication
between the brain and gastrointestinal (GI) tract in the mammalian body. Evidence from over …

Study of the interactions between the gut microbiota and brain-gut axis represents a very
appealing approach to increasing our knowledge about the mechanisms leading to obesity …

The wealth of biotransformational capabilities encoded in the microbiome expose the host to
an array of bioactive xenobiotic products. Several of these metabolites participate in the …
