Sponsor's own description

Mounting evidence shows that the gut microbiome plays an important role in communication within the gut-brain axis. However, the relationship between gut microbiota and their influence on anxiety is still not fully understood. Recent studies on mice found a specific microbe-produced molecule, 4-ethylphenyl sulfate (4EPS), can induce anxious behavior. 4EPS is produced by gut microbes in mice and humans. Research suggests higher 4EPS levels may strongly be associated with anxiety levels. However, anxiety is far more complicated than changes in a single molecule. There are many more factors to consider when it comes to anxiety, including various aspects of one's lifestyle and how humans perceive their environment (cognitive orientation). The primary research goal is to better understand the effects 4EPS has on human anxiety behavior and the role cognitive orientation has in connection to anxiety.
