Topic: Nutrition and the Gut-Liver-Brain Axis

AbstractThe gut-liver brain-axis describes the bidirectional interaction between the gastrointestinal system, the liver, and the central nervous system with involvement of the gut microbiota. Regulated by the intestinal, blood –brain and gut-vascular barrier, the immune system, and the microbially derived molecules that are derived from diet, the nutrition-gut-liver-brain axis has an essential role in a number of diseases. This review will canvass some of the concepts regarding the nutrition-gut-liver-brain axis and foc us on common diseases with recent evidence.
