Modulating the Production of Neuroactive Molecules by Gut Microbes
Inhibitory neurotransmitters, such as y-aminobutyric acid (GABA), taurine, taurine analogs and β-alanine, have been associated with neurological disorders such as epilepsy, schizophrenia, dementia, autism, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and more. Additionally, gut microbiome dysbiosis has also been linked to many neurological disorders, with modulations...

Methods for Enhancing Production of Beneficial Short- and Medium- Chain Fatty Acids by the Gut Microbiome
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) which include acetate (C2), propionate (C3) and butyrate (C4) are important, health-benefiting metabolites, produced when microbes in the human colon ferment polysaccharides and dietary fiber. Medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), such as caproate (C6) and caprylate (C8), have also been shown to provide health benefits and...
