Potential microbial-modified signaling regulated by Mediterranean Diet (MeD) consumption that may regulate breast cancer risk. Immune cell sampling of probiotic Lactobacillus species induced by MeD consumption may promote systemic anti-inflammatory signaling. Dietary metabolites directly influence mammary gland Lactobacillus abundance, modify bile acid metabolites, increase bacterial-processed bioactive compounds, and increase antioxidant compounds.
