Gut-microbiota-brain axis and its effect on neuropsychiatric disorders with suspected immune dysregulation

Montiel-Castro et al. (2013) reveals to us the increasingly likely fact that as well as protecting the host from pathogens, metabolizing complex lipids and polysaccharides and thereby making certain nutrients accessible, neutralizing drugs and carcinogens, altering intestinal motility, and making visceral perception possible, the microbiota within the gut play an influential role in various physiological […]

This 2021 review discusses the relationship between tea polyphenols and gut microorganisms, breaking down the potentially preventative role of tea polyphenols in psychiatric disorders via modulation of host intestinal microorganisms. Tea polyphenols make up the most bioactive components in tea extracts, and have been reported to regulate the composition and function of the intestinal flora. […]
