Probiotic treatment rescues behavioral deficits and gut microbial abnormalities induced by preconceptional stress in mothers and offspring

Depression and anxiety during pregnancy pose significant public health challenges, adversely affecting both maternal and child health. This research explores the influence of the gut microbiome on stress and mood regulation, particularly concerning preconceptional stress and its transgenerational effects. Using a model of preconceptional social isolation rearing (SIR) in female mice, we observed increased anxiety-like […]

The relationship between perinatal mental health and stress: A review of the microbiome

This 2019 review focuses on the interaction between stress-induced adaptations (such as the immune system, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, the autonomic nervous system) and the microbiota since this relationship may contribute to mental illnesses/disorders/behaviors/experiences in women during pregnancy and postpartum. Redpath et al. explain that when the stress response activates the HPA axis and dysregulates […]
