Regulation of body fat mass by the gut microbiota: possible mediation by the brain
E Schele, L Grahnemo, F Anesten, A Hallen… - Peptides, 2016 - Elsevier
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.
