AI Article Synopsis

  • * The review discusses how probiotics can influence gut microbiota and metabolism, potentially reducing cognitive decline and inflammation through mechanisms like the gut-brain axis.
  • * Probiotics may serve as a targeted approach to restore gut health, potentially slowing down aging, managing age-related diseases, and improving overall quality of life.

Article Abstract

Context: The age-induced disruption of gut flora, termed gut dysbiosis, is intimately tied to compromised immune function, augmented oxidative stress and a spectrum of age-linked disorders.

Objective: This review examines the fundamental mechanisms employed by probiotic strains to modulate gut microbiota composition and metabolic profiles, mitigate cognitive decline the gut-brain axis (GBA), modulate gene transcription and alleviate inflammatory responses and oxidative stress.

Conclusion: We elucidate the capacity of probiotics as a precision intervention to restore gut microbiome homeostasis and alleviate age-related conditions, thereby offering a theoretical framework for probiotics to decelerate ageing, manage age-related diseases, and elevate quality of life.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) represents an escalating global health crisis, constituting the leading cause of dementia among the elderly and profoundly impairing their quality of life. Current FDA-approved drugs, such as rivastigmine, donepezil, galantamine, and memantine, offer only modest symptomatic relief and are frequently associated with significant adverse effects. Faced with this challenge and in line with advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology of this neurodegenerative condition, various innovative therapeutic strategies have been explored.

Background: Migraine, a prevalent neurovascular disorder, affects millions globally and is associated with significant morbidity. Emerging evidence suggests a crucial role of the gut microbiota and adipose tissue in the modulation of migraine pathophysiology, particularly through mechanisms involving neuroinflammation and metabolic regulation.

Material And Methods: A narrative review of the literature from 2000 to 2024 was conducted using the PubMed database.

Background/objectives: Chronic gut dysbiosis due to a high-fat diet (HFD) instigates cardiac remodeling and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), in particular, kidney/volume-dependent HFpEF. Studies report that although mitochondrial ATP citrate lyase (ACLY) supports cardiac function, it decreases more in human HFpEF than HFrEF. Interestingly, ACLY synthesizes lipids and creates hyperlipidemia.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive cancer with poor prognosis, primarily due to its immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), which contributes to treatment resistance. Recent research shows that the microbiome, including microbial communities in the oral cavity, gut, bile duct, and intratumoral environments, plays a key role in PDAC development, with microbial imbalances (dysbiosis) promoting inflammation, cancer progression, therapy resistance, and treatment side effects. Microbial metabolites can also affect immune cells, especially natural killer (NK) cells, which are vital for tumor surveillance, therapy response and treatment-related side effects.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a prevalent gastrointestinal disorder, affecting 3-5% of the global population and significantly impacting patients' quality of life and healthcare resources. Alongside physical symptoms such as abdominal pain and altered bowel habits, many individuals experience psychological comorbidities, including anxiety and depression. Recent research has highlighted the critical role of the gut microbiota in IBS, with dysbiosis, characterized by an imbalance in microbial diversity, frequently observed in patients.
