The Microbiome-Gut-Brain Axis in Health and Disease.

TL;DR: Manipulating the gut microbiota with psychobiotics, prebiotics, or even antibiotics offers a novel approach to altering brain function and treating gut-brain axis disorders, such as depression and autism.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Gut Microbiome Alterations and Inflammation-Driven Pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s Disease—a Critical Review

TL;DR: The inflammatory-infectious hypothesis of AD, with the great role of the gut microbiome, starts to gently push into the shadow the amyloid cascade hypothesis that has dominated for decades.
Journal Article

The role of diet on gut microbiota composition

TL;DR: The direct role of the diet in the composition of gut microbiota and about the possible clinical consequences are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

How gut microbes talk to organs: The role of endocrine and nervous routes

TL;DR: The recent advances in gut microbiota investigation as well as the discovery of specific metabolites interacting with host cells has led to the identification of novel inter-organ communication during metabolic disturbances, suggesting that gut microbes may be viewed as “novel” future therapeutic partners.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of probiotics in children with autism spectrum disorder: A prospective, open-label study.

TL;DR: It was concluded that probiotics have beneficial effects on both behavioral and GI manifestations of ASD, and could be recommended for children with ASD as an adjuvant therapy.

Diversity of the human intestinal microbial flora.

TL;DR: A majority of the bacterial sequences corresponded to uncultivated species and novel microorganisms, and significant intersubject variability and differences between stool and mucosa community composition were discovered.
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Host-Gut Microbiota Metabolic Interactions

TL;DR: A deeper understanding of the axes that physiologically connect the gut, liver, muscle, and brain are a prerequisite for optimizing therapeutic strategies to manipulate the gut microbiota to combat disease and improve health.
