A new review reveals the significant neuroprotective properties of dietary polysaccharides, attributing their actions to the key mechanisms of oxidative stress reduction, neuronal production, metabolic regulation, and gut barrier integrity promotion.
Research on the gut-brain axis is growing, but it is still a ‘chicken or the egg’ situation when it comes to whether it is gut dysbiosis that affects brain health or vice versa, says the guest on the latest episode of our Nutrachampion podcast.
Glutathione reduced (GSH) may be a potential biomarker or etiologic factor in women 18 months postpartum at moderate to high risk of suicide, according to a team of Brazilian researchers.
A recent literature review observed that via the gut-brain axis, anthocyanins and their gut-derived metabolites may exhibit a protective effect on the nervous system to neurodegenerative diseases.
Research continues to build the nutritional toolbox that can be accessed to help improve psychiatric outcomes by boosting the production of various neurotransmitters, a new review asserts.
Daily consumption of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum OLL2712 may improve different memory scores in older people with declining memory, says a new study from Japan.
A new review has found reason to believe in the neuroprotective potential of probiotics and prebiotics. But the complex nature and lengthy progression of neurodegenerative conditions means convincing proof is still lacking, the researchers said
Researchers looking into the effect of vitamin D on patients with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) are confident that it can slow down the worsening of some symptoms.
Deeper research into microbiota–gut–brain mechanisms could slow down neurodegeneration and calm anxiety and hyperactivity in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a new paper suggests.
A large brain MRI trial has shown that the ‘Green’ Mediterranean diet, high in polyphenols and low in processed and red meat, may slow brain atrophy in the over 50s
Using a nanocarrier delivery system, the olive oil-derived extract Hydroxytyrosol can act as a protective agent against Parkinson’s-related neurodegeneration, according to a new study from the Centre for Nutraceuticals, University of Westminster.
