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.

Microbial tryptophan metabolites modulate blood-brain and gut barriers in vitro

The gut microbiota significantly impacts brain function through the gut-brain axis, although the molecular mechanisms involved remain largely undefined. Central to this interaction are barrier systems, including the epithelial gut barrier and the blood-brain barrier, which facilitate the communication of circulating signals. Microbial metabolites play a crucial role in influencing the integrity of these barriers. […]

Guts imbalance imbalances the brain: A review of gut microbiota association with neurological and psychiatric disorders

The connection between the brain, gut bacteria, and neurologic-associated diseases has drawn more attention in the past decade. Gut microbiota plays a significant role in mental and cognitive development, neurogenesis, emotions and behaviors, and the progression of neuropsychiatric illnesses, evident by numerous preclinical and clinical research studies demonstrating the gut microbiota’s ability to impact the […]
