Powiązanie depresji z odmiennym mikrobiomem w jelitach

[Bright Angel]

Naukowcy odkryli związek pomiędzy mikrobiomem w jelitach a depresją. Też jest hipoteza, że mikrobiom jelitowy odgrywa kluczową rolę w chorobie Parkinsona, autyzmie, chorobie afektywnej-dwubiegunowej.

Researchers from several institutions in China and two in the U.S have found an association between the distribution of gut microbes and major depressive disorder (MDD). The details of the study were published in the journal Science Advances on 02 Dec 2020. The gut microbiome are vital and direct environmental contributor to central nervous system development, it consists of a vast bacterial and viral community that can significantly influence host health and disease. It has been hypothesized to play a critical role in the onset of various neuropsychiatric disorders such as Parkinson's disease, autism, and bipolar disorder, via the "microbiota-gut-brain" axis.

In a series of studies, researchers are discovering that the microbial menagerie living in our digestive tract may help regulate brain function, including mental health. Recent findings by scientists in the U.S., Europe and China are linking our feelings of stress, anxiety and severe depression to disturbances among hundreds of microbe species living in our gut that some researchers have started calling the psychobiome.

Conversely, other bacteria in the gut appear to produce some of the same substances used by doctors to treat depression and may naturally play a role in maintaining our emotional balance.
