Stress-induced mucin 13 reductions drive intestinal microbiome shifts and despair behaviors

The interactions between the intestinal microbiome and nervous signaling play a role in modulating dietary intake through its influence on the hypothalamic hunger and satiety/satiation drivers. Imbalances in food intake is one of the reasons behind lipid accumulation and obesity. However, dietary intake is influenced by voluntary mechanisms spurred by hedonic and reward systems that […]

The microbiota-gut-brain (MGB) axis represents an intricate network linking the microbiota, gut, and brain, influencing various aspects of health and disease. An imbalance in the gut microbiome, known as dysbiosis, can profoundly affect the MGB axis, leading to changes in microbial composition and function. Recent evidence underscores the link between microbiota changes and neurological and […]
