BIOME AND DISEASE. "Studies are revealing how diverse forms of neuro-immune and neuro-psychiatric disorders are correlated with, or modulated by variations of microbiome, microbiota-derived products and exogenous antibiotics and probiotics." A healthy biome, a healthy host. Dysbiosis and pathology. https://lnkd.in/eagiGTJ View in LinkedIn

A KEY TO HEALTH. "The human gut microbiota contains more than 100 trillion bacteria that, under normal physiological conditions, have beneficial symbiotic interactions with the host." https://lnkd.in/eE5cSys View in LinkedIn

DYSBIOSIS. "However...alterations in the composition and diversity of the gut microbiota, or dysbiosis, can influence the development and progress of metabolic and neurological disorders." https://lnkd.in/eE5cSys View in LinkedIn

BIOME AND DISEASE. The brain influences the microbiome, just as the microbiome influences the brain. The microbiome has also been implicated in a variety of CNS and affective disorders including multiple sclerosis, depression, anxiety, stress, and autism, quite apart from other diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome, and inflammatory bowel disease. https://lnkd.in/eagiGTJ View in LinkedIn

BIOME AND BEHAVIOR. The normal gut microbiota affects host brain development, behavior and cognitive functions of the host. This is no small achievement. https://lnkd.in/e5aynPh View in LinkedIn

THE EMPEROR. "Mice and other model organisms with changes in the gut microbes exhibit altered behaviors" in large part due to changes in serotonin. https://lnkd.in/ewRPBbf View in LinkedIn

SEROTONIN synthesis by gut epithelial cells is directed by clostridium bacteria in the gut by turning on a key synthetic enzyme. This fact is of key importance. https://lnkd.in/ewRPBbf View in LinkedIn

PSYCHOBIOTICS. "It is clear that the gut microbiota can be a key regulator of mood, cognition, pain and obesity." Just a decade ago a statement like this would have been a hanging offense. https://lnkd.in/eJyY3uh View in LinkedIn

GUT BACTERIA secrete a number of metabolite molecules that can control host endocrine and neural signaling and their associated metabolic pathways. https://lnkd.in/eE5cSys View in LinkedIn

THE NEGLECTED ENDOCRINE SYSTEM. The gut microbiota is a neglected virtual endocrine organ in humans. These bacteria secrete a number of hormonal and hormone-like chemicals into the host blood to act at distant organs all over the body. https://lnkd.in/eF--_hq View in LinkedIn
