Essential elements in depression and anxiety. Part II
This 2015 paper analyzes the micronutrients copper, selenium, manganese, iodine and vanadium and their roles in depression and anxiety. Młyniec et al. (2015) discuss potential mechanisms in which these elements may be linked with either depression or anxiety, including possible interactions between some of these micronutrients with enzymes that are involved in the pathophysiology of mental disorders. Furthermore, the authors inspect the dynamic between these elements and depression/anxiety, even the quantity of an element in the diet or in the blood associated with the symptoms of these disorders. [NPID: micronutrients, nutritional supplements, copper, selenium, manganese, iodine, vanadium, depression, anxiety]

This 2019 review summarizes the influence that polyphenols can have on the neural inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction aspects of diet-induced hypothalamic dysfunction. Polyphenols were seen to help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation within the hypothalamus, enhancing leptin signaling and mitochondrial biogenesis in the process. The role of polyphenols in reducing the production of reactive oxygen […]
High blood copper levels and low folate levels have been linked to depression in earlier research, where depression is a known prevalent mental ailment that affects both physical and emotional well-being. The purpose of this study by Liu, Wang & Jiang (2024) was to determine if elevated serum folate levels—either by themselves or in conjunction with […]
