Exploring the Impact of the Microbiome on Neuroactive Steroid Levels in Germ-Free Animals

Steroid hormones are essential biomolecules for human physiology as they modulate the endocrine system, nervous function and behaviour. Recent studies have shown that the gut microbiota is directly involved in the production and metabolism of steroid hormones in the periphery. However, the influence...
