- What was measured
- A concept review linking the endocannabinoid system, gut microbiota and mood, including where palmitoylethanolamide might fit as a way to restore normal microbiota.
What the authors reported
The authors describe the endocannabinoid system's role in gut motility, permeability, secretion, immunity and visceral pain, and its two-way relationship with the microbiota and mood. They propose prebiotics or probiotics to raise endocannabinoid tone, and phytocannabinoids or endocannabinoid-like molecules such as palmitoylethanolamide to restore normal microbiota. No data are presented.
Limits of this study
A concept paper with no new data; PEA is mentioned as a proposal only. The authors have no conflicts of interest to declare.
