Current Insights on the Modulation of Gut Microbiome and Its Effect on Human Health

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Microbiome-Gut-Brain Axis

Abstract

The gut of human beings is inhabited by a diverse group of microorganisms, around trillions, which makes it a new essential endocrine organ and shows a symbiotic connection with a host, and they metabolize the food ingested and produce diverse bioactive and dietary compounds. This may include organic acids, bacteriocins, and short-chain fatty acids, which provide potential to impact on physiological and pathological conditions of the host and maintain homeostasis. In recent times, due to rapid advancement in technology, our understanding about microbiome has also expanded. The modulation of the microbiome leads to disturbance in homeostasis, which causes imbalance and leads to dysbiosis, and the gut barrier integrity gets disturbed and immunological reaction leads to inflammation. This chapter reviews the current insights on various diseases and gastroenterological disorders associated with the modulation of the gut microbiome and how probiotics help in maintaining the healthy gut with intact gut barrier by regulating the expression of tight junction proteins, perhaps leading to good human health.
