Regulation of body fat mass by the gut microbiota: Possible mediation by the brain
Research output: Contribution to journal › Review › Research › peer-review
New insight suggests gut microbiota as a component in energy balance. However, the underlying mechanisms by which gut microbiota can impact metabolic regulation is unclear. A recent study from our lab shows, for the first time, a link between gut microbiota and energy balance circuitries in the hypothalamus and brainstem. In this article we will review this study further.
