MoodBugs: hoe onze darmmicroben beïnvloeden hoe we ons voelen - bacteriële metabolieten en ontstekingen als bemiddelaars van menselijke microbiota-affectrelaties KU Leuven
Do our gut microbes influence our emotions? This sounded far-fetched a decade ago, but rodent research has shown that the microbial ecosystem in the gut (the gut microbiota) causally impacts affective processes. The underlying microbiota-gut-brain signalling mechanisms include the capacity of the microbiota to produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) from dietary fiber and to regulate inflammation.
These rodent findings have great ...
