Enterohepatocentrism as the basis of human psychosomatic pathology

Abstract

The gut microbiota regulates critical processes in host metabolism and physiology. Understanding the formation of relationships between the gut microbiome, liver, and other organs under physiological conditions, as well as under the influence of microbiota-damaging factors, provides important insights into the pathophysiology of not only liver diseases, but also the complex level of communication and the role of the microbiome in the gut-liver-brain, gut-liver-kidney, gut-liver-lung, and gut-liver-heart axes.
