Does a microbial-endocrine interplay shape love-associated emotions in humans? A hypothesis
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
This hypothesis review proposes that the gut microbiome may influence love-associated emotions (lust, attraction, and attachment) by modulating hormone levels and activity. Much of the evidence presented is based on animal models, and more research is needed to confirm these findings in humans. Further research is also needed to elucidate the role of socio-cultural factors, along with environmental influences that affect both gut microbiome composition and hormone levels.

Explicación de la calificación
This is an interesting hypothesis paper that brings together several lines of research. However, it relies heavily on animal studies, and more research is needed to demonstrate the actual effects of the microbiome on human love and relationships. There are also potential issues in oversimplification due to the reductionist framework of focusing primarily on biological factors.
