Dysfunction of the Microbiota-Gut-Brain Axis in Neurodegenerative Disease: The Promise of Therapeutic Modulation With Prebiotics, Medicinal Herbs, Probiotics and Synbiotics

Gut Microbiota, Gut-Brain axis, Probiotics, Prebiotics and Symbiotics /

Pre-clinical and human clinical trial data reveal exciting potential for novel treatment targets and therapeutic modulation with prebiotics, medicinal herbs, probiotics, and synbiotics in health, aging, and neurodegeneration and are reviewed here. While greater insights and characterization of the microbiota-gut-brain axis have been revealed over the past decade, salient questions related to the pathology, pathogenesis […]

Bacterial Metabolites Mirror Altered Gut Microbiota Composition in Patients with Parkinson’s Disease

Gut Microbiota, Short Chain Fatty Acids /

Increasing evidence is supporting the hypothesis of -synuclein pathology spreading from the gut to the brainalthough the exact etiology of Parkinson’s disease (PD) is unknown. Furthermore, it has been proposed that inflammation,via the gastrointestinal tract, potentially through infections, may contribute to -synuclein pathogenesis, and thus to the riskof developing PD.
