The association between gut-health promoting diet and depression: A mediation analysis

While a gut-brain axis has been used to describe the complex networks and relationships between the microbiota and the central nervous system (CNS) via autonomic, neuroendocrine, enteric, and immune system pathways, Rieder et al. (2017) explain here that when these networks are disturbed, it could have a great impact on health and disease. It is […]

The gut microbiome-brain axis responds to changes in lifestyle, diet, infection, and antibiotics. Similarly, anxiety and dietary derangements lead to negative physiological impacts that are implicit in altering the gut microbiome. Microbiome derangements impact inflammatory responses, immunity, short-chain fatty acid production, gut permeability, and overall neurological homeostasis. Recent evidence points to a relationship between gut […]
