Gut microbiota, kynurenine pathway and mental disorders - Review

Magdalena Wiedlocha et al.

Summary: The intestine, together with the gut-associated lymphoid tissue, is the largest immunity organ in the human body, which can be influenced by gut microbiota and lead to the formation of neuroactive metabolites associated with various psychiatric disorders. Current research suggests that probiotics can reduce the toxicity of kynurenine metabolites by affecting proinflammatory cytokines, making gut microbiota a potentially interesting target for future therapies.

Early-Life Stress Modulates Gut Microbiota and Peripheral and Central Inflammation in a Sex-Dependent Manner

Hae Jeong Park et al.

Summary: This study found that early-life stress induced by maternal separation can lead to changes in gut microbiota composition, inflammatory cytokines, and tryptophan-kynurenine metabolism in rats. These alterations were shown to be sex-dependent, with differences in gut microbe abundance and inflammatory cytokine levels observed between male and female rats.

Determinants of quality of life and psychosocial adjustment to pediatric inflammatory bowel disease: A systematic review focused on Crohn's disease

Nathalie Touma et al.

Summary: This systematic review examined the determinants of quality of life and psychosocial adjustment to pediatric Crohn's disease. The findings indicate that disease activity and parental stress are strong predictors, while factors such as abdominal pain, negative illness perceptions, and internalizing symptoms also play a role in impacting outcomes.

The Kynurenine Pathway Is Upregulated by Methyl-deficient Diet and Changes Are Averted by Probiotics

Sandra Tillmann et al.

Summary: The study showed that probiotics can counterbalance the effects of an MDD diet and downregulate downstream metabolites of the kynurenine pathway. Additionally, the combination of probiotics and choline can reduce the enrichment of bacterial strains in the cecum.

Updated Review and Meta-Analysis of Probiotics for the Treatment of Clinical Depression: Adjunctive vs. Stand-Alone Treatment

Viktoriya L. Nikolova et al.

Summary: This review evaluated the efficacy of probiotics for clinical depression, showing that probiotics are effective in reducing depressive symptoms when used adjunctively with antidepressants, but not as a stand-alone treatment. Potential mechanisms of action may involve increases in BDNF and decreases in CRP levels, but more evidence is needed to support this.

Summary: This systematic review synthesized studies on the effects of prebiotics and probiotics on kynurenine pathway metabolism. The results suggest that probiotics can significantly impact serum kynurenine and the kynurenine:tryptophan ratio.

Summary: The research found that long-term stress disrupts Kyn metabolism and endocrine function, accompanied by disrupted homeostasis of certain microbiota, collectively contributing to the development of depression-like behavior.
