#High-fat diet, #microbiome-gut-brain axis signaling, and #anxiety-like behavior in male rats

Obesity, associated with the intake of a high-fat diet (HFD), and anxiety are common among those living in modern urban societies. Recent studies suggest a role of microbiome-gut-brain axis signaling, including a role for brain serotonergic systems in the relationship between HFD and anxiety. Evidence suggests the gut microbiome and the serotonergic brain system together… Continue reading #High-fat diet, #microbiome-gut-brain axis signaling, and #anxiety-like behavior in male rats
