Butyrate emerges as a crucial effector of Zhi-Zi-Chi decoctions to ameliorate depression via multiple pathways of brain-gut axis

Jialin Liu et al.

Summary: This study reveals the mechanism of Zhi-Zi-Chi decoctions (ZZCD) in treating depression by modulating gut microbiota, and establishes a multi-targets and multi-levels platform in further research on the mechanism of other traditional Chinese medicine efficacy.

Gut microbiota-brain axis in depression: The role of neuroinflammation

Anelise S. Carlessi et al.

Summary: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a prevalent psychiatric condition, with studies indicating that inflammation plays a crucial role in its pathogenesis, closely linked to gut microbiota and brain axis. This connection may influence treatment responses and the onset of symptoms.

Anti-depressant effect of Zhi-zi-chi decoction on CUMS mice and elucidation of its signaling pathway

Chuan Chai et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated the positive treatment effect of ZZCD on CUMS depression model mice. Metabolomics results revealed the holistic and interconnected metabolic changes of ZZCD in CUMS mice. The metabolic pathway annotation suggested that the anti-depression mechanism of ZZCD might be related to signaling pathway in brain.

Therapeutic potential of catalpol and geniposide in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases: A snapshot of their underlying mechanisms

Xumin Zhang et al.

Summary: Rehmannia glutinosa and Gardenia, both famous traditional Chinese medicines, contain catalpol and geniposide as their main bioactive components. Over the past few decades, research has shown that catalpol and geniposide possess significant neuroprotective activities against neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

Compatibility with Semen Sojae Praeparatum attenuates hepatotoxicity of Gardeniae Fructus by regulating the microbiota, promoting butyrate production and activating antioxidant response

Yusha Luo et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated that Gardeniae Fructus Combination (ZZCD) showed lower hepatotoxicity compared to Gardeniae Fructus (ZZ) at the same dosage. ZZ induced gut dysbiosis, but when combined with DDC, these effects were reversed and beneficial genus were increased. Butyrate played a detoxifying role in genipin-induced liver injury by promoting colon integrity and activating Nrf2.

The gut microbiota in anxiety and depression - A systematic review

Carra A. Simpson et al.

Summary: The gut microbiota is associated with anxiety and depressive disorders, with inconsistent findings in diversity but potential links to peripheral inflammation influencing the brain's pathophysiology. Future research should consider confounders like diet and medications, and investigate microorganism function.
