Abstract Bipolar disorders (BD) represent a severe leading disabling mental condition worldwide characterized by episodic and often progressive mood fluctuations with manic depressive stages. The biological mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of BD remain incompletely understood, but it seems that there is complex picture genetic environmental factors implicated. Nowadays, gut microbiota in spotlight new research related to this kind psychiatric disorder, as can be consistently several pathophysiological events observed BD. In context so-called microbiota–gut–brain (MGB) axis, shown have strong influence on host neuromodulation endocrine functions (i.e., controlling synthesis neurotransmitters like serotonin or mediating activation hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis), well modulation immune responses, critically regulating intestinal, systemic brain inflammation (neuroinflammation). present review aims elucidate derived from MGB axis disruption possible therapeutic approaches mainly focusing network Understanding its bidirectional communication other systems shed light discovery therapies for improving clinical management these patients. Besides, effect drugs currently used patients, together therapeutical targeting ecosystem (dietary patterns, probiotics, prebiotics, novelties) will also contemplated.

Abstract Aims The purpose of this review is to explore the interconnected pathways microbiota-gut-brain axis (MGBA), focusing on roles vagus nerve and glucagon like peptide-1 in appetite control, development obesity diabetes. Methods Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are metabolic disorders whose prevalence has significantly increased recent decades expected increase every year, pandemic proportions. These two pathologies often coexist have substantial public health implications. term “diabesity” defines pathophysiological connection between overweight T2DM. gut microbiota affects many aspects host. Beyond regulation intestinal functions activation immune responses, plays a role central nervous system (i.e., mood, psychiatric conditions associated with stress memory) regulator metabolism appetite. Results MGBA involves such as autonomic enteric systems, hypothalamic– pituitary–adrenal axis, system, enteroendocrine cells, microbial metabolites. Notably, an essential eating behavior by modulating learning nutritional preferences. Conclusions Because its cell-mediated interaction microbiota, may provide potential pathway through which microorganisms influence host feeding control physiological pathological conditions.

The human gut microbiome contains the largest number of bacteria in body and has potential to greatly influence metabolism, not only locally but also systemically. There is an established link between a healthy, balanced, diverse overall health. When becomes unbalanced (dysbiosis) through dietary changes, medication use, lifestyle choices, environmental factors, ageing, this profound effect on our health linked many diseases, including metabolic inflammatory neurological diseases. While humans largely association dysbiosis with disease, animal models, causative can be demonstrated. brain particularly important maintaining health, strong neurodegenerative neurodevelopmental This suggests that microbiota composition used make early diagnosis diseases modifying microbiome-gut-brain axis might present therapeutic target for have proved intractable, aim altering trajectory such as Alzheimer's Parkinson's multiple sclerosis, autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity among others. other potentially reversible migraine, post-operative cognitive dysfunction, long COVID, which considered models therapy disease. role traditional methods microbiome, well newer, more novel treatments faecal transplants photobiomodulation, are discussed.

Metabolic diseases, such as obesity, metabolic syndrome (MetS) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), are now a widespread pandemic in the developed world. These pathologies show sex differences their development prevalence, steroids, mainly estrogen testosterone, thought to play prominent role this sexual dimorphism. The influence of hormones on these is not only reflected between men women, but also women themselves, depending hormonal changes associated with menopause. observed gut microbiota composition have led multiple studies highlighting interaction steroid its ultimately pointing new therapy for diseases based manipulation microbiota. This review aims shed light prevalence focusing MetS T2D. We focus microbiota, particular aspects barrier integrity, inflammatory status, gut-brain axis, given relevance factors diseases.
