New Awareness of the Interplay Between the Gut Microbiota and Circadian Rhythms
New Understanding of How Gut Bacteria and Body Clocks Work Together
AI simplified
Abstract
Circadian rhythms are influenced by the light/dark cycle, which regulates various biological processes.
- Circadian rhythms affect food intake and sleep/wake cycles in hosts.
- The gut microbiota composition and rhythms are influenced by sleep/wake cycles and food intake.
- Gut microbiota may impact the circadian rhythm through both direct and indirect interactions.
- There is evidence suggesting that gut microbiota regulates sleep/wake cycles via gut-brain-microbiota interactions.
- Gut microbiota may play a role in the progression of neurodegenerative diseases, as well as in diabetes, hypertension, and rheumatoid arthritis.
- Fecal microbiota transplantation has potential therapeutic benefits, but there are risks associated with spreading intestinal pathogens.
