However, gaps in our understanding of how chronic stress contributes to depression and mental disorders suggest that we also need to consider factors beyond the biology of the host. The unravelling of the structure and function of microorganisms that humans and animals are host t...
Depression can, for instance, cause people to eat poorly—and diet is a primary factor in the makeup of a person's gut bacteria. So, that could be one explanation for the results, Amin said. At the same time, the notion that gut bacteria could affect depression risk is not far-fetched...
Your gut is critical for the breakdown, digestion, and absorption of nutrients from your food for repair, growth, energy, health, and well-being. It is also important for protecting you from pathogens, like bad bacteria, fungi, parasites, and toxins in your gut. If you haveleaky gut syndro...
The gut microbiome is a contributory factor in ageing-related health loss and in several non-communicable diseases in all age groups. Some age-linked and disease-linked compositional and functional changes overlap, while others are distinct. In this Review, we explore targeted studies of the gut ...
were predictive of DLB. AsRuminococcus torquesandCollinsellaare also major secondary bile acids-producing bacteria, we quantified fecal bile acids and found that the production of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) was high in DLB. Increased UDCA in DLB may mitigate neuroinflammation at the substantia nigra,...

Gut infections, includingH Pylori, parasites, yeast, bacterial, and viral infections, can all increase the risk of gut inflammation. According to a 2019 study published inFEBS Open Biology,H Pylori infection can increase pro-inflammatory bacteria growth in the gut and gut inflammation(15). ...
genera that contributed to over 50% of the metabolite models they participated in, “consistent contributors” to that metabolite (“Methods” section; Additional file 1: Table S8), and found that often such genus-metabolite links coincide with known metabolic capacities of certain gut bacteria. Ba...
Inflammation has emerged as a putative mechanism for promoting stress vulnerability. Using a rodent model of social defeat, we have previously shown that rats with short-defeat latencies (SL/vulnerable rats) show increased anxiety- and depression-like behaviors, and these behaviors are mediated by ...
that immune inflammatory responses in the gut are related todepression, Kamiya and his team designed experiments to focus on understanding stress-induced behaviors produced by an imbalance in thegut microbiota—types of microorganisms found in a specific environment, such as bacteria, fungi and viruses...
