The gut brain axis is a system of bi-directional communication. When the delicate balance of the microbiome is disrupted, the resulting dysbiosis can be a factor in the development of neurological disorders, including Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), Parkinson’s Disease (PK), and Multiple Sclerosis (MS). One major player in the gut brain axis are short-chain fatty acids

The fact that millions of people worldwide suffer from Alzheimer’s disease (AD) orParkinson’s disease (PD), the two most prevalent neurodegenerative diseases (NDs), has beena permanent challenge to science. New tools were developed over the past two decades andwere immediately incorporated into routines in many laboratories, but the most valuable scientificcontribution was the “waking up” of

In recent years, human gut microbiota have become one of the most promising areasof microorganism research; meanwhile, the inter-relation between the gut microbiota and varioushuman diseases is a primary focus. As is demonstrated by the accumulating evidence, the gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system interact through the gut–brain axis, which includesneuronal, immune-mediated and metabolite-mediated pathways.

Gut Microbiome and Alzheimer’s Disease

Gut Dysbiosis, Gut Microbiota, Gut Permeability / Leaky Gut, Gut-Brain axis, Parkinson's Disease /

The lack of an effective treatment for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) stems primarily from incomplete understanding of AD’s causes. A rapidly growing number of scientific reports highlight important roles played by peripheral infections and intestinal bacterial flora in pathological and physiological functions involving the microbiome-intestine-brain axis. The microbiome controls basic aspects of the central nervous system

Vitamin C Supplementation in Healthy Individuals Leads to Shifts of Bacterial Populations in the Gut—A Pilot Study

Gut Dysbiosis, Gut Microbiota, Gut Permeability / Leaky Gut, Vitamins / Supplements / Nutraceuticals /

Daily supplementation of high-dose vitamin C led to an increase in the relative abundances of Lachnospiraceae (p < 0.05), whereas decreases were observed for Bacteroidetes (p < 0.01), Enterococci (p < 0.01) and Gemmiger formicilis (p < 0.05). In addition, trends for bacterial shifts were observed for Blautia (increase) and Streptococcus thermophilus (decrease). High-dose vitamin

Parkinson’s disease patients’ short chain fatty acids production capacity after in vitro fecal fiber fermentation

Short-chain fatty acid production was analyzed by headspace solid-phase micro-extraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Clostridium coccoides and C. leptum were quantified through 16S-rRNA gene-targeted group-specific qPCR. Factors influencing short-chain fatty acid production were investigated using linear mixed models. After fiber fermentation, butyrate concentration varied between 25.6 ± 16.5 µmol/g and 203.8 ± 91.9 µmol/g for Parkinson’s patients and between 52.7 ± 13.0 µmol/g and 229.5 ± 42.8 µmol/g for controls. Inulin had

Genetic and environmental factors in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases and promising therapeutic intervention via fecal microbiota transplantation

Biomarkers, Fecal Transplants (FMT), Gut Dysbiosis, Gut Microbiota, Gut Permeability / Leaky Gut, Gut-Brain axis /

The gut microbiota provides potential therapeutic targets that can be regulated as new interventions for neurodegenerative diseases. In this review, we discuss genetic and environmental risk factors for neurodegenerative diseases, summarize the communication among the components of the microbiota-gut-brain axis, and discuss the treatment strategy of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT). FMT is a promising treatment

The gut-brain axis is a two-way communication system, which explains how through the vagus nerve, the gut microbiota can affect the central nervous system (CNS), including brain functions related to the ENS, as well as how CNS can alter various gut secretions and immune responses. As a result, this dysbiosis or alteration in gut microbiota
