Effects of Alcohol Binge Drinking and Oleoylethanolamide Pretreatment in the Gut Microbiota

IntroductionChronic alcohol consumption is known to cause gut dysbiosis (changes in microbiota composition and/or function, disruptive of the normal host–microbiota interactions). However, little is known about the changes that alcohol binge drinking induces in the gut microbiota. Here, we have test...
