RT Journal Article T1 The role of gut microbiota in cerebrovascular disease and related dementia A1 Cuartero Desviat, María Isabel A1 García Culebras, Alicia A1 Nieto Vaquero, Carmen A1 Fraga, Enrique A1 Torres López, Cristina A1 Pradillo Justo, Jesús Miguel A1 Lizasoaín Hernández, Ignacio A1 Moro Sánchez, María Ángeles AB In recent years, increasing evidence suggests that commensal microbiota may play an important role not only in health but also in disease including cerebrovascular disease. Gut microbes impact physiology, at least in part, by metabolizing dietary factors and host-derived substrates and then generating active compounds including toxins. The purpose of this current review is to highlight the complex interplay between microbiota, their metabolites. and essential functions for human health, ranging from regulation of the metabolism and the immune system to modulation of brain development and function. We discuss the role of gut dysbiosis in cerebrovascular disease, specifically in acute and chronic stroke phases, and the possible implication of intestinal microbiota in post-stroke cognitive impairment and dementia, and we identify potential therapeutic opportunities of targeting microbiota in this context.
