Watch nowButyrate is a short-chain fatty acid produced by gut microbes during the fermentation of dietary fiber. However, gut microbial composition and metabolic activity are altered in the setting of Parkinson's disease, likely playing a role in the disease's onset and progression. This review summarizes the evidence linking gut microbial perturbations, butyrate, and Parkinson's disease and presents potential strategies for targeting butyrate production to treat the disease. ... parkinson's microbiome microbes fiber butyrate
Read moreFungi drive many chronic health conditions, including asthma, skin problems, gut disorders, and others. Recent research has highlighted potential links between the fungus Candida albicans and Alzheimer's disease. A recent study in mice found that C. albicans triggers a dual-pronged defense system involving both the brain and the immune system; however, when elements of this system fail, the fungi can impair the blood-brain barrier and drive amyloid plaque formation. Researchers injected mice with different strains of C. albicans and measured fungal levels in the animals' brains. They assessed ... brain alzheimer's blood-brain barrier
Read moreThe gut-brain axis is a complex communication system that links the gut microbial community, digestive system, and nervous system. A new study shows that the gut-brain axis plays a critical role in brain development. Infants demonstrating specific patterns of enhanced brain activity, such as rhythmic processing, exhibited unique gut microbial populations and metabolic processes. Researchers collected fecal samples from 56 infants between the ages of four and six months and analyzed their microbial composition through metagenomic sequencing. They evaluated the infants' brain activities while li... brain gut microbiome development
Read moreThe limbic system – a complex system of nerves and networks in the brain – supports many brain functions, including memory, emotion, and learning. The olfactory system is the only sensory system directly linked to this critical brain region. A new study shows that olfactory stimulation via aromatherapy may enhance limbic system function, potentially preserving or improving cognitive function in older adults. Researchers assigned 23 older adults (aged 60 to 85) to an olfactory-enriched or control group. Using an aromatherapy diffuser, they exposed the enriched group to seven essential oil scen... brain alzheimer's memory dementia nose
Read moreFast food during pregnancy harms both mother and offspring and interferes with milk production. Fast foods – burgers, fries, pizzas, sugar-sweetened drinks, and many others – are often high in calories, saturated fat, added sugars, and salt. Regular consumption of fast foods is associated with an increased risk for many chronic diseases (https://academic.oup.com/nutritionreviews/article/71/5/310/2460221). Findings from a recent study suggest that eating fast food during pregnancy negatively influences maternal health during pregnancy and undermines the nutritional quality of a mother's breast... diet breast milk lactate
