- Abstract
- The link between gut microbiome and eating behaviours, especially palatable food intake, is a growing focus of scientific investigation. The complex ecosystem of microorganisms in the gut influences host metabolism, immune function and neurobehavioural signalling. This review explores the role of neuroinflammation in dysregulations of food-induced reward signalling and the potential causal role of the gut microbiota on these proinflammatory processes. Particular attention is given to eating disorders (ED, specifically anorexia nervosa, binge eating disorder and bulimia nervosa) and potential links with the gut microbiota, food reward alterations and neuroinflammation. Finally, we propose gut microbiota modulation as a promising therapeutic strategy in food reward alterations and ED.
