English: Fish gut-microbiota-brain axis in feeding and digestion
The gut microbiota (green circle) releases metabolites in response to substrates present in the gut lumen. These metabolites locally stimulate the enteroendocrine cells (blue circle) of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and/or reach the brain (orange circle). The stimulated enteroendocrine cells release gut peptides, which act locally in the GIT and affect brain feeding centers, altering neuropeptide release, and modifying feeding behavior and energy homeostasis.
