Interaction Information:
Comment | Gut bacteria produce amino acids (i.e., gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) and tryptophan), and monoamines (i.e., serotonin, histamine, and dopamine), which play a significant role in the brain as neurotransmitters, or as neurotransmitter precursors. These neuroactive products can target the CNS via the blood stream and can also influence neurons in the ENS (enteric nervous system). |
