A host–gut microbial co-metabolite of aromatic amino acids, <i>p</i> -cresol glucuronide, promotes blood–brain barrier integrity <i>in vivo</i>

Abstract excerpt
<h4>Purpose</h4> The sequential activity of gut microbial and host processes can exert a powerful modulatory influence on dietary components, as exemplified by the metabolism of the amino acids tyrosine and phenylalanine to p -cresol by gut microbes, and then to p -cresol glucuronide (pCG) by host enzymes. Although such glucuronide conjugates are classically thought to be biologically inert, there is accumulati...
