Microbial Metabolites as Systemic Signaling Molecules: Integrating Metabolism, Immunity, and Organ Crosstalk in Health and Disease.
The gut microbiota produces a wide variety of metabolites that are essential for host-microbe communication and play a critical role in regulating host physiology, metabolism, and immunity. Among the most important of these metabolites are Short-Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs), bile acid derivatives, tryptophan metabolites,...
