The maternal microbiome modifies adverse effects of protein undernutrition on offspring neurobehavioral impairment in mice

This study shows that maternal microbiome alterations during protein undernutrition in mice modify offspring neurobehavioral impairments, with microbiome-targeted interventions offering potential mitigation.

Complex carbohydrate utilization by gut bacteria modulates host food preference

This study shows that gut bacteria ferment specific fructans, influencing host preference for non-fermentable fructan diets through neuronal activation in the hypothalamus.
