When Rhythms Meet the Blues: Circadian Interactions With the Microbiota-Gut-Brain Axis

March 5, 2020
PMID: 32130879 DOI: 10.1016/j.cmet.2020.02.008 Abstract The microbiota-gut-brain axis encompasses a bidirectional mode of communication between the microorganisms residing in our gut, and our brain function and behavior. The composition of the gut microbiota is subject to diurnal variation and is entrained by host circadian rhythms. In turn, a diverse microbiota is essential for optimal regulation of host circadian...

Where the sun doesn’t shine? Skin UV exposure reflected in poop

October 25, 2019
October 24, 2019 , Frontiers Excerpts: The sun can indeed shine out of your backside, suggests research. Not because you’re self-absorbed, but because you’ve absorbed gut-altering UV radiation. This is the first study to show that skin exposure to UVB light alters the gut microbiome in humans. Published in Frontiers in Microbiology, the analysis suggests that vitamin D mediates the change—which...

Ultraviolet Irradiation of Skin Alters the Faecal Microbiome Independently of Vitamin D in Mice.

February 24, 2019
Nutrients. 2018 Aug 11;10(8). pii: E1069. doi: 10.3390/nu10081069. Abstract Reduced sunlight exposure has been associated with an increased incidence of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. The effect of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) on the faecal microbiome and susceptibility to colitis has not been explored. C57Bl/6 female mice were fed three different vitamin D-containing diets for 24...
