Despite their abundance and despite being the most numerous biological entities on Earth, viruses remain one of the least understood components of the human microbiome. In our study, we show how Microviridae bacteriophages in the gut microbiome are associated with food addiction through changes in tryptophan, serotonin and dopamine metabolism.

肠道中的微病毒科噬菌体、微生物组和人类的食物成瘾


尽管病毒数量丰富，并且是地球上数量最多的生物实体，但它们仍然是人类微生物组中最不为人知的组成部分之一。在我们的研究中，我们展示了肠道微生物组中的微病毒科噬菌体如何通过色氨酸、血清素和多巴胺代谢的变化与食物成瘾相关。
