Abstract
The interaction between the gut-microbiota-derived metabolites and brain has long been recognized in both health and disease. The liver, as the primary metabolic organ for nutrients in animals or humans, plays an indispensable role in signal transduction. Therefore, in recent years, Researcher have proposed the Gut-Liver-Brain Axis (GLBA) as a supplement to the Gut-Brain Axis. The GLBA plays a crucial role in numerous physiological and pathological mechanisms through a complex interplay of signaling pathways. However, gaps remain in our knowledge regarding the developmental and functional influences of the GLBA communication pathway. The gut microbial metabolites serve as communication agents between these three distant organs, functioning prominently within the GLBA. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of the GLBA, focusing on signaling molecules role in animal and human health and disease. In this review paper elucidate its mechanisms of communication, explore its implications for immune, and energy metabolism in animal and human, and highlight future research directions. Understanding the intricate communication pathways of the GLBA holds promise for creating innovative treatment approaches for a wide range of immune and metabolic conditions.
期刊介绍:
npj Biofilms and Microbiomes is a comprehensive platform that promotes research on biofilms and microbiomes across various scientific disciplines. The journal facilitates cross-disciplinary discussions to enhance our understanding of the biology, ecology, and communal functions of biofilms, populations, and communities. It also focuses on applications in the medical, environmental, and engineering domains. The scope of the journal encompasses all aspects of the field, ranging from cell-cell communication and single cell interactions to the microbiomes of humans, animals, plants, and natural and built environments. The journal also welcomes research on the virome, phageome, mycome, and fungome. It publishes both applied science and theoretical work. As an open access and interdisciplinary journal, its primary goal is to publish significant scientific advancements in microbial biofilms and microbiomes. The journal enables discussions that span multiple disciplines and contributes to our understanding of the social behavior of microbial biofilm populations and communities, and their impact on life, human health, and the environment.
