Excess can cause depression whereas deficiencies cause Dementia - Candida, streptococcus, E. Coli and enterococcus produce 5HT - Serratia (gram neg. bacteria) produces dopamine - Lactobacillus, Bifidbacterium, candida and streptococcus secrete GABA and regulate endocannabinoid expression - A healthy gut microbiome can decrease depression and anxiety, regulate sleep, appetite and improve cognition (1000 species) - An unhealthy gut microbiome contributes to an exaggerated HPA-Axis response Gut-Brain Axis - The effect of acute stress is limited due to microbiota's long time relative stable state, but chronic stress can disturb this balance - The structure of intestinal microbiota is strongly influenced by diet and environmental stressors - Corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF) plays an important role in changing intestinal permeability - Research suggests that gut-brain axis dysfunction may be involved in the development of mood disorders, schizophrenia, addiction, and neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases as well as age-related cognitive decline* - The treatment of these conditions may adversely affect the composition of intestinal microbiota since antipsychotics and antidepressants are antibacterial agents Endocannabinoid System - Clinical s...
