The microbiota–gut–brain axis in Huntington's disease: pathogenic mechanisms and therapeutic targets
Disturbances of the microbiota–gut–brain axis are evident in people with Huntington's disease (HD) and in HD animal models. Here, we provide an overview of how the trillions of microorganisms residing in the gut, their secretory products, and the microbiota–gut–brain axis may contribute to HD pathogenesis.

Obesity and the gut microbiota: implications of neuroendocrine and immune signaling
An unhealthy diet impairs the symbiotic relationship between the gut microbiota and the host, contributing to obesity. At the intestinal level, identification of host–microbe events essential for proper neuroendocrine/immune signaling is key to the development of microbiome‐based strategies to promote metabolic health in obesity (probiotics ...

I "Gut" Rhythm: the microbiota as a modulator of the stress response and circadian rhythms
The stress response and circadian rhythms are essential to maintain appropriate responses to the environment and are known to be impacted by the gut microbiota. Due to the interconnected nature of these important components of physiology, in this review we explore how the gut microbiota may play a role in regulating the integration of stress and ...

Succinate receptor 1 signaling mutually depends on subcellular localization and cellular metabolism
SUCNR1, activated by succinate, is a Gi‐ and Gq‐coupled receptor present at the plasma membrane and in endosomes. There are conflicting reports about the pro‐/anti‐inflammatory effects of the succinate‐SUCNR1 signaling axis, and these are likely due to localization‐dependent signaling.

Estrogen synthesized in the central nervous system enhances MC4R expression and reduces food intake
Estrogen is regulated by the rate‐limiting enzyme aromatase. This study examines how neuroestrogens, estrogen produced in the brain, regulate appetite through the hypothalamus. Using ovariectomized, aromatase knockout, and brain‐specific aromatase‐restored mice, the study found that neuroestrogens suppress appetite by influencing genes like Mc4r.
