The gut microbiota influences the health of the host, especially with regard to gut immune
homeostasis and the intestinal immune response. In addition to serving as a nutrient …

Neurotransmitters, including catecholamines and serotonin, play a crucial role in
maintaining homeostasis in the human body. Studies on these neurotransmitters mainly …

Neurotransmitters play essential roles in regulating neural circuit dynamics both in the
central nervous system as well as at the peripheral, including the gastrointestinal tract …

Serotonin, also known as 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), is a metabolite of tryptophan and is
reported to modulate the development and neurogenesis of the enteric nervous system, gut …

Abstract Serotonin (5-HT) has been recognized for decades as an important signalling
molecule in the gut, but it is still revealing its secrets. Novel gastrointestinal functions of 5-HT …

Several recent studies describe the influence of the gut microbiota on host brain and
behavior. However, the mechanisms responsible for microbiota-nervous system interactions …

The 'microbiota-gut-brain axis' plays a fundamental role in maintaining host homeostasis,
and different immune, hormonal, and neuronal signals participate to this interkingdom …

Abstract Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT) is a multifunctional bioamine with
important signaling roles in a range of physiological pathways. Almost all of the 5-HT in our …

Serotonin is an important gastrointestinal signaling molecule. It is a paracrine messenger
utilized by enterochromaffin (EC) cells, which function as sensory transducers. Serotonin …

Background & Aims Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine [5-HT]) is synthesized mainly within
enterochromaffin (EC) cells in the gut, and tryptophan hydroxylase 1 (Tph1) is the rate …
