Intestinal microorganisms influence white blood cell levels, study finds

by Hokkaido University Under normal conditions (steady state) neutrophils regulate the gut microbiota. When the number of neutrophils drops (neutropenia), the composition of the gut microbiota changes, stimulating T cells to produce IL-17A. IL-17-A in turn stimulates the production of neutrophils in the bone marrow (reactive granulopoiesis). Credit: Daigo Hashimoto Intestinal bacteria composition is crucial...
