“Other studies have shown that gut bacteria are able to modulate the levels of GABA, norepinephrine, serotonin, dopamine, and acetylcholine through the gut-brain axis. I spoke with the gut experts, Drs.”

“Serotonin is important for regulating sleep/wake cycles, and too little serotonin may decrease sleep quality. The scientists gave mice water containing broad spectrum antibiotics for four weeks to deplete their gut microbiota or normal drinking water.”

“See FMF episode with Dr. Jed Fahey. 00:44:55 - Myrosinase, responsible for converting the precursor glucoraphanin to sulforaphane, is inactivated by cooking but can be rescued partially by gut bacteria or added separately with mustard powder.”

“However, the number of effective therapies for the disease is small, demonstrating the need for additional research into the mechanisms of dementia. Findings from a group of scientists researching the gut microbiota suggest the microbiota-gut-brain axis may contribute to Alzheimer's pathology.”

“Butyrate 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.”

“Several studies have identified a the gut-brain the relationship is that is bidirectional such that changes in the gut microbiome can affect behavior, and behavioral changes (ie. psychological stress) can affect the gut flora.”

“Randomized controlled trial finds that type 2 diabetics given a diet high in fiber improved the secretion of hormones involved in insulin production (GLP-1) and lowered blood glucose levels (HbA1c) via changes in the gut microbiome.”

“Evidence indicates that dysbiosis, an imbalance in the types and numbers of microbes in the gut, contributes to the pathogenesis of IBD. And now, findings from a recent study suggest that eating a high-sugar diet promotes dysbiosis and the development of IBD.”

“Researchers tested whether taking capsules containing gut microbes from healthy donors during adolescence could leave durable clinical and microbiome changes years later. Researchers followed up on a previous trial where adolescents received either gut microbiota from healthy lean adults or a placebo.”

“Fermentable fiber feeds the beneficial bacteria in the gut which then prevents them from being forced to cannibalize the gut barrier (which causes inflammation) and it allows them to produce signaling molecules (short chain fatty acids) which make the immune system better.”
