Microbiome: Studies and publications
We put together an overview of the most important studies and current publications on the topic of the microbiome in the context of our health.
Links between gut microbes and depression strengthened.
Just ten years ago, the idea that microorganisms in the human gut could influence the brain was often dismissed as wild. Not any more ... Links between the central nervous...
Gut microbe linked to depression in large health study.
The trillions of bacteria in and on our bodies can bolster our health and contribute to disease, but precisely which microbes are the key actors has been elusive. Now, a...
Gut Microbiome and Depression: How Microbes Affect the Way We Think.
The gut microbiome serves an important role in the human body. Reportedly, one of the benefits of these microflora is on mental health. Once established, food and other dietary sources that enhance...
Gut microbiome-wide association study of depressive symptoms.
Depression is one of the most poorly understood diseases due to its elusive pathogenesis. There is an urgency to identify molecular and biological mechanisms underlying depression and the gut microbiome is a...
Current Understanding of Gut Microbiota in Mood Disorders.
Gut microbiota plays an important role in the bidirectional communication between the gut and the central nervous system. Mounting evidence suggests that gut microbiota can influence the brain function via neuroimmune and...
Why does fat return after dieting? The microbiome might have a hand.
Experiments on mice suggest that gut bacteria contribute to the post-diet rebound of fat tissue . Diets that involve intermittent fasting can help with weight loss — but returning to...
Gut microbiome alterations in obesity and after weight-loss intervention.
Emerging evidence has linked the gut microbiome to human obesity. In this study researchers performed a metagenome-wide association study and serum metabolomics profiling in a cohort of lean and obese, young, Chinese...
A sugary diet wrecks gut microbes — and their anti-obesity efforts.
A high-sugar diet unbalances the microbiome, so the body makes fewer of the gut immune cells that help to prevent metabolic disorders. An intricate relationship between diet, gut bacteria and...
