It explains that dysbiosis can lead to various diseases and emphasizes the role of host genetics in microbiome composition and disease susceptibility. The interplay between genetics, environment, and individual behaviors shapes the microbiome's diversity and function.

The brain (left) and the gut, including the stomach and intestines (right), are connected via curved arrows that represent neural, hormonal, and immunological pathways. This axis plays a critical role in maintaining homeostasis and is involved in various physiological and psychological processes, including digestion, mood regulation, and immune response.

These metabolites, from compounds like bile acids, short-chain fatty acids, and branched-chain amino acids, are central to understanding the pathogenesis of metabolic disorders such as obesity and diabetes. They have potential as biomarkers for early diagnosis and targets for therapeutic interventions.
