TLDR
An overview of the role of the gut microbiota in relation to the disease pathology in anorexia nervosa is provided and especially focuses on the therapeutic potential of fermented foods, proposed here as a recommended addition to the current nutritional treatment protocols warranting further investigation.Abstract:
Anorexia nervosa is a serious psychiatric disorder with high morbidity and mortality rate. Evidence for the optimal psychopharmacological approach to managing the disorder remains limited, with nutritional treatment, focused on weight restoration through the consumption of high energy diet, regarded as one of the fundamental steps in treatment. The human gut microbiome is increasingly recognised for its proposed role in gastrointestinal, metabolic, immune and mental health, all of which may be compromised in individuals with anorexia nervosa. Dietary intake plays an important role in shaping gut microbiota composition, whilst the use of fermented foods, foods with potential psychobiotic properties that deliver live bacteria, bacterial metabolites, prebiotics and energy, have been discussed to a lesser extent. However, fermented foods are of increasing interest due to their potential capacity to affect gut microbiota composition, provide beneficial bacterial metabolites, and confer beneficial outcomes to host health. This review provides an overview of the role of the gut microbiota in relation to the disease pathology in anorexia nervosa and especially focuses on the therapeutic potential of fermented foods, proposed here as a recommended addition to the current nutritional treatment protocols warranting further investigation.read more

The association of traumatic brain injury, gut microbiota and the corresponding metabolites in mice.
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive analysis of the correlation between gut microbiota and metabolites after TBI in mice was conducted and the results from this study provide information that paves way for future studies utilizing the brain gut axis theory in the diagnosis and treatment of TBI.

Diet and the microbiota–gut–brain-axis: a primer for clinical nutrition
TL;DR: A recent review as mentioned in this paper focused on emerging evidence of microbiome-targeted dietary approaches with the potential to improve brain disorders, highlighting methodological limitations and knowledge gaps, including the quality of dietary intake information, the design of dietary interventions, and missing behavioural outcomes.

Impact of diet in shaping gut microbiota revealed by a comparative study in children from Europe and rural Africa
Carlotta De Filippo,Duccio Cavalieri,Monica Di Paola,Matteo Ramazzotti,Jean Baptiste Poullet,Sébastien Massart,Silvia Collini,Giuseppe Pieraccini,Paolo Lionetti +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the fecal microbiota of European children (EU) and that of children from a rural African village of Burkina Faso (BF), where the diet, high in fiber content, is similar to that of early human settlements at the time of the birth of agriculture.

From Dietary Fiber to Host Physiology: Short-Chain Fatty Acids as Key Bacterial Metabolites
TL;DR: Data is reviewed supporting the diverse functional roles carried out by a major class of bacterial metabolites, the short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which affect various physiological processes and may contribute to health and disease.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that gut microbiota coevolved with the polysaccharide-rich diet of BF individuals, allowing them to maximize energy intake from fibers while also protecting them from inflammations and noninfectious colonic diseases.

Intestinal mucosal barrier function in health and disease.
TL;DR: Recent advances have uncovered mechanisms by which the intestinal mucosal barrier is regulated in response to physiological and immunological stimuli, along with evidence that this regulation shapes mucosal immune responses in the gut and, when dysfunctional, may contribute to disease.
