Microbiome-host systems interactions: Protective effects of propionate upon the blood-brain barrier

Lesley Hoyles, Tom Snelling, Umm‐Kulthum Ismail Umlai, Jeremy Kirk Nicholson, Simon Richard Carding, Robert Charles Glen, Simon McArthur

The paper investigates how propionate, a gut microbial metabolite, interacts with the blood-brain barrier through CD14-dependent and NRF2 signaling pathways, suggesting a new mechanism in the gut-brain axis.
