“The evidence thus does not support a broad conclusion that blueberries "remodel" the microbiome, but may change how polyphenols are transformed, which metabolites appear, and whether select organisms flourish.”

“A 24-hour fast restructured the gut microbiome in diabetic mice which beneficially impacted the shape and number of colon cells, decreased markers of gut permeability, changed bile acid secretion, and prevented the development of retinopathy.”

“The gut microbiome influences the development of social skills later in life, a recent study in fish has found. Fish that have delayed microbiome development show distinct differences in their brain structure and behavior compared to those with appropriately timed development.”

“This review describes many of the inaccuracies that permeate the body of scientific literature surrounding human microbiome research.”

“Learn more about resveratrol in our overview article. Probiotic boosts serum BDNF Multiple lines of evidence point to a strong connection between BDNF levels and the gut microbiome, the collection of microorganisms that live within the human digestive tract.”

“Surprisingly, the concern isn't just that these chemicals affect health but rather the mechanisms by which they do so. A recent study in mice found that exposure to persistent organic pollutants altered the animals' gut microbiome composition, skewing it toward a less beneficial profile.”

“The brain's reward centers react more strongly to the sight of tempting food than to less tempting options, driving food choices. Evidence suggests the gut microbiome influences these neural activity patterns, ultimately modulating body weight and metabolic health.”

“Cocaine affects nearly every organ system in the body, including the gastrointestinal system, drastically altering the gut microbiome. It also increases dopamine levels in the brain, creating a memory of the dopamine reward and strengthening the association between the drug and the pleasurable feelings it produces.”

“The sleep loss caused a composition change in the gut microbiome including an increased ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes (which parallel the gut microbiome of obese subjects compared with normal-weight subjects).”

“The treated mice lived also longer compared to mice that weren't given butyrate. [...] > When the researchers fed the ALS-prone mice butyrate in their water, starting when the mice were 35 to 42 days old, the mice showed a restored gut microbiome profile and improved gut integrity.”
