Christensenella

Meaning

Christensenella is a genus of bacteria recognized within the gut microbiome, increasingly associated with host metabolic health and potentially influencing endocrine axes. While not a direct endocrine factor, its presence correlates significantly with body composition parameters and overall metabolic efficiency in clinical observations. We consider this organism an important modulator of the gut-brain-hormone signaling network. Its abundance offers a biomarker insight into systemic wellness status.
