Stress disrupts gut and brain barriers by reducing key microbial metabolites, study finds

Researchers have shown that acute stress can disrupt gut microbial activity, lowering protective fatty acids that maintain intestinal and brain barrier integrity. The findings offer new insight into how short-term stress affects the body’s gut-brain communication system.

Excited to share our preprint on the South American MicroBiome Archive (saMBA)! 🌎🦠.

We analysed one of the regions with the fewest microbiome samples but some of the highest biodiversities.

Do you want to know how acute stress enhances synaptic plasticity?
Our latest study shows that the gut microbiota is essential.
