Gut microbiota variations in patients diagnosed with major depressive disorder-A systematic review

Obesity, frequently linked to high-fat diet (HFD) consumption, and anxiety are prevalent in modern urban settings. Recent research indicates the involvement of the microbiome-gut-brain axis, particularly the serotonergic systems of the brain, in the association between HFD and anxiety. This study conducted a nine-week HFD protocol in male rats, assessing gut microbiome diversity and community […]

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 […]
