Feeding the microbiota-gut-brain axis: diet, microbiome, and neuropsychiatry

TLDR
The microbiota is poised to play a key role in nutritional interventions for maintaining brain health and diet composition and nutritional status has repeatedly been shown to be one of the most critical modifiable factors regulating the gut microbiota at different time points across the lifespan and under various health conditions.

BRIEF COMMUNICATION ARISING: Gut hormone PYY3-36 physiologically inhibits food intake

TL;DR: The authors showed that post-prandial elevation of PYY3-36 may act through the arcuate nucleus Y2R to inhibit feeding in a gut-hypothalamic pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of short-chain fatty acids in microbiota-gut-brain communication.

TL;DR: This Review summarizes existing knowledge on the potential of SCFAs to directly or indirectly mediate microbiota–gut–brain interactions and their interaction with gut–brain signalling pathways including immune, endocrine, neural and humoral routes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Butyrate: A Double-Edged Sword for Health?

TL;DR: The present knowledge on the properties of butyrate, especially its potential effects and mechanisms involved in intestinal health and obesity, are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI

The gut microbiome in neurological disorders.

TL;DR: Research into the role of the gut microbiome in modulating brain function has rapidly increased over the past 10 years, albeit chiefly in animal models, and interpretation of such data is often difficult given that the composition of the microbiome is influenced by various factors such as diet and exercise.

An obesity-associated gut microbiome with increased capacity for energy harvest

TL;DR: It is demonstrated through metagenomic and biochemical analyses that changes in the relative abundance of the Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes affect the metabolic potential of the mouse gut microbiota and indicates that the obese microbiome has an increased capacity to harvest energy from the diet.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diet rapidly and reproducibly alters the human gut microbiome

TL;DR: Increases in the abundance and activity of Bilophila wadsworthia on the animal-based diet support a link between dietary fat, bile acids and the outgrowth of microorganisms capable of triggering inflammatory bowel disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

From inflammation to sickness and depression: when the immune system subjugates the brain

TL;DR: In response to a peripheral infection, innate immune cells produce pro-inflammatory cytokines that act on the brain to cause sickness behaviour, which can lead to an exacerbation of sickness and the development of symptoms of depression in vulnerable individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Obesity alters gut microbial ecology

TL;DR: Analysis of the microbiota of genetically obese ob/ob mice, lean ob/+ and wild-type siblings, and their ob/+ mothers, all fed the same polysaccharide-rich diet, indicates that obesity affects the diversity of the gut microbiota and suggests that intentional manipulation of community structure may be useful for regulating energy balance in obese individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI

The gut microbiota as an environmental factor that regulates fat storage

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that conventionalization of adult germ-free C57BL/6 mice with a normal microbiota harvested from the distal intestine (cecum) of conventionally raised animals produces a 60% increase in body fat content and insulin resistance within 14 days despite reduced food intake.
