How Daily Body Clocks Interact with the Gut Microbiome and Brain in Depression
Updated
Abstract
The gut microbiota is essential for optimal regulation of host circadian pathways.
- The microbiota-gut-brain axis involves a two-way communication between gut microorganisms and brain function.
- Gut microbiota composition varies throughout the day and is influenced by the body's circadian rhythms.
- Disruption of the cyclical interaction between gut microbes and the host can significantly affect disease pathology and severity.
- Recent findings suggest a link between the microbiota-gut-brain axis and circadian rhythms regarding disease influence.
- Further research is necessary to understand how these systems interact to affect disease severity and risk.
