The impact of lipopolysaccharide on cerebrovascular function and cognition resulting from obesity-induced gut dysbiosis

This review examines the role of obesity-induced gut dysbiosis in increasing lipopolysaccharide (LPS) levels, which activate the TLR4 receptor and promote chronic low-grade inflammation. This inflammation disrupts the gut-brain axis, impairing cerebrovascular function and cognition. MRI studies indicate that obesity leads to structural and functional brain changes, particularly in regions
