Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With 1013 to 1014 microorganisms inhabiting the gut, the microbiota is essential not only for gut health, but also for normal physiologic functioning in other organs. It communicates with the brain via neural, endocrine, immune and metabolic pathways. As such, the microbiota–gut–brain axis modulates not only enteric and central nervous system function, but also the health of metabolic and cardiovascular systems. Dysbiosis occurs as a consequence of gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome; metabolic diseases such as diabetes and obesity; chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, chronic heart failure, cardiomyopathy, chronic atrial fibrillation and chronic kidney disease; neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease; neuropsychiatric disorders such as autism; and also cancers.
