Gut microbiota and eating behaviour in circadian syndrome

Eating behavior and circadian rhythms are closely interconnected. The type, timing, and amount of food consumed, along with the host’s circadian rhythms, directly affect the gut microbiota, which in turn influences circadian rhythms and regulates food intake beyond basic hunger responses. This opinion discussion by Soliz-Rueda et al. (2024) explores the effects of gut-brain axis signaling on food intake and circadian rhythm abnormalities brought on by an obesogenic environment. It also delves into potential mechanisms through which changes in gut microbiota affect food intake behavior and circadian rhythm regulation. Addressing the obesity epidemic, which continues to be one of the biggest problems facing society today, requires an understanding of the relationships that exist between gut bacteria, circadian rhythms, and bad eating habits.

The microbiome-gut-brain axis regulates social cognition & craving in young binge drinkers

The severity of alcohol use disorders (AUDs) has recently been connected to microbiome changes, suggesting that the gut microbiome may play a role in the development of AUDs. The act of consuming an excessive amount of alcohol quickly is known as binge drinking. Binge drinking is frequently seen in the critical adolescent growth stage. In […]

The effects of psychobiotics on the microbiota-gut-brain axis in early-life stress and neuropsychiatric disorders

This 2021 article reviews the currently available evidence on the role of psychobiotics in reducing depression-related outcomes, bringing attention to the gaps in knowledge and challenges involved in this area of research. Psychobiotics are believed to potentially modulate the bidirectional communication between the gastrointestinal tract and the central nervous system. While causality has yet to […]
