Figure 2 Inter-relation of diverse gut microbiota and their respective neuromediators with gut inflammation. Bacteria used as probiotics in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (green box) produces anti-inflammatory neuromediators (γ-aminobutyric acid, acetylcholine), bacteria having a detrimental role in IBD (purple box) releases pro-inflammatory neuromediator (serotonin) and bacteria having a debatable role in IBD (blue box) secrete neuromediator (noradrenaline) having both pro and anti-inflammatory properties. GABA: γ-aminobutyric acid.
