While this was initially thought to cause health problems, new studies suggest that isnt the case
To name a few, microbiota maintain gut-barrier function in the mucus layers of the GI tract [139,153,[169], [170], [171], [172], [173]], support gut motility [145,148], secrete hormones like serotonin (5-HT) [145,146], cholecystokinin (CCK), gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) [147], regulate chromatin [10,[148], [149], [150]], contribute to the gutbrain axis [16,135], and contribute to immunomodulatory functions of the host [143,144] (Table 2)
