Interaction Between Circadian Rhythms and Gut-brain Axis / 胃肠病学

ABSTRACT

The gastrointestinal tract connect with brain by many methods, such as the vagus nerve, neuroactive monoamine neuromodulators, immune system, intestinal microbiota and microbial metabolites. Circadian rhythms are 24 hours patterns of behavior, such as light-dark cycle, hormones secretion, cell movement and so on. This article reviewed the interactions between circadian rhythms and gut-brain axis through gut motility, gut microbiota, immunity and colorectal cancer.
