Mechanistic description
The gap can be tested by treating TLR4 priming as an upstream driver rather than a passive correlate. If true, perturbing butyrate-restoring consortia should shift fecal butyrate before downstream neurodegeneration markers change.
Mechanism / pathway
- TLR4 priming
- TLR4 priming
- neurodegeneration
