Abstract

Microbiota are abundant in the gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals, which play a key role in the communication between the gastrointestinal tract and the brain. There is a bidirectional communication system of nerves, body fluids and immune pathways among microbiota, gut and brain, that is, microbiota-gut-brain axis, which regulates the body's microbial homeostasis, brain function and normal behavior. This review summarized the research results of nutrition metabolism, energy homeostasis, action pathways and host health of the microbiota-gut-brain axis, aiming to provide some references for the regulation of nutrient metabolism in animals.
