Antidepressive mechanisms of probiotics and their therapeutic potential.

PMID: Front Neurosci. 2019 ;13:1361. Epub 2020 Jan 14. PMID: 32009871 Abstract Title: Antidepressive Mechanisms of Probiotics and Their Therapeutic Potential. Abstract: The accumulating knowledge of the host-microbiota interplay gives rise to the microbiota-gut-brain (MGB) axis. The MGB axis depicts the interkingdom communication between the gut microbiota and the brain. This communication process involves the …

Hyperlipidemia-induced lipotoxicity and immune activation in rats are prevented by curcumin and rutin.

PMID: Int Immunopharmacol. 2020 Jan 30 ;81:106217. Epub 2020 Jan 30. PMID: 32007794 Abstract Title: Hyperlipidemia-induced lipotoxicity and immune activation in rats are prevented by curcumin and rutin. Abstract: We assessed the effects of curcumin, rutin, and the association of rutin and curcumin in organs of hyperlipidemic rats. Rutin and curcumin have notable antioxidant and …

Gut-brain communication in demyelinating disorders.

PMID: Curr Opin Neurobiol. 2020 Feb 14 ;62:92-101. Epub 2020 Feb 14. PMID: 32066076 Abstract Title: Gut-brain communication in demyelinating disorders. Abstract: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune demyelinating disorder resulting from the interplay of genetic predisposition and environmental variables, including gut microbiota, diet and life style factors. Here, we first discuss the evidence supporting …

Gut microbial dysbiosis is associated with profibrotic factors in liver fibrosis mice.

PMID: Front Cell Infect Microbiol. 2020 ;10:18. Epub 2020 Jan 31. PMID: 32083022 Abstract Title: Gut Microbial Dysbiosis Is Associated With Profibrotic Factors in Liver Fibrosis Mice. Abstract: Continuous development will evolve into end-stage liver disease. Profibrotic factors NOX4 and RhoA participate in the activation of HSC and accelerate the development of liver fibrosis. Abnormal …

Yogurt intake may be associated with decreased odds of hyperplastic polyp and adenomatous polyps.

PMID: Br J Nutr. 2020 Feb 20:1-28. Epub 2020 Feb 20. PMID: 32077397 Abstract Title: Yogurt consumption and colorectal polyps. Abstract: Diet modifies the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) and inconclusive evidence suggests yogurt may protect against CRC. We analyzed data collected from two separate colonoscopy-based case-control studies. The Tennessee Colorectal Polyp Study (TCPS) and …
