    - in BD > Especially, GABA, #Glutamate, #Serotonin, #Dopamine, norepinephrine and #Acetylcholine appears to be importantly dysregulated in these patients
  • - GABA is biosynthesized from #Glutamate due to the action of the enzyme #Glutamate decarboxylase, which is found in eukaryotic cells and in a broad spectrum of bacterial species. - LAB and more specifically certain #Lactobacilli strains are the most important GABA producers in the gut.

  • - strains that are similar to #Alistipes sp. CAG:514 are known to produce GABA.
  • [#Alzheimer’s disease, #Cognitive impairment, #Mild Cognitive Impairment] [#Mediterranean Ketogen Diet] - Participants with MCI on the MMKD had lower levels of GABA-producing microbes #Alistipes sp. CAG:514 and GABA, and higher levels of GABA-regulating microbes #Akkermansia muciniphila.
  • [#American Heart Association Diet] - the low-fat AHAD modulates key #Neurotransmitters, such as promoting GABA production, in individuals with #Cognitive impairment. This dysregulation may be related to increases in GABA-producing microbes, such as #Alistipes sp. CAG:514.

  • [1.12] [#Human milk oligosaccharides] [#Adult
    - #Indole-3-lactic acid and #3-phenyllactic acid (linked to immune health) and gamma-aminobutyric acid (linked to gut-brain axis) were most profoundly stimulated by 2′FL and HMO blends in both #Children and adults, correlating with specific #Bifidobacteriaceae.
  • [1.13] [#Alzheimer’s disease] [#Olive
    - #Lactobacilli and #Bifidobacterium are often greatly reduced in patients with AD. - Both of these bacterial types, populations of which are elevated with EVOO consumption, can produce γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), the main inhibitory neurotransmitter, likely influencing GABAergic firing in the brain via the enteric and vagal nervous systems.
  • [1.14
    - The presence of #Pipecolic acid in the CNS can be partially derived from the gut microbiota and has been also associated with GABA signaling and release.
  • [1.15
    - animal models of #Schizophrenia had reduced systemic #Dopamine and lower enteric GABA
  • - GABA levels were lower in the auditory cortices of adults presenting with unilateral #Tinnitus
  • [1.16] [#Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
    - #Lactobacillus and #Bifidobacterium producers of GABA, which is known to decrease in patients with ADHD > Ameliorate ADHD
  • [#Autism] - FMT in the ASD cohort could decrease GABA and #Serotonin in serum, but the #Dopamine level was increased by FMT.
  • [#Autism] - FMT could exhibit a recovery effect on the serum levels of #Serotonin, GABA, and DA in the ASD cohort, which means that FMT might be an effective technique in regulating #Neurotransmitters via the MGB axis
  • [#Autism] - rodent ASD model > induced by oral #Propionic acid ingestion. - Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Bifidobacterium infantis could ameliorate glutamate excitotoxicity, a major autistic feature in this model. The therapeutic effect of these psychobiotics might be due to the reduction of oxidative stress, restoration of the depleted GABA signaling pathway, and upregulation of the GABA receptor’s gene expression

  • - #Lactobacillus species produce #Acetylcholine and GABA
  • [1.17] [#Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

  • - GABA plays multiple roles in maintaining skin health, including the inhibition of itching by acting as a neurotransmitter, attenuating skin lesions by balancing Th1 and Th2 levels, and maintaining skin elasticity by increasing the expression of type I #Collagen.
  • - gut #Ammonia links microbe nitrogen metabolism to host stress vulnerability by maintaining brain #Glutamine availability in male mice. - abnormally low blood #Ammonia levels limit the brain’s availability of #Glutamine, a key metabolite produced by astrocytes that is required for presynaptic γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) replenishment and confers stress vulnerability through cortical GABAergic dysfunction.
  • [#Ammonia] - ammonium chloride (NH4Cl), a commonly used expectorant in the clinic, can rescue behavioural abnormalities and GABAergic deficits in mouse models of #Depression
  • [1.21
    - The γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) hypothesis posits a role of GABA deficiency in the central nervous system in the pathogenesis and progression of #Essential tremor. - gut microbiota of patients with ET had a lower GABA-producing capacity. - degeneration of the GABAergic neurons in the cerebellum and a reduction in the concentrations of GABA in the cerebrospinal fluid were observed in patients with ET
  • [#Essential tremor] [#Lactobacillus plantarum] - administering the high-GABA-producing L. plantarum strain L5 significantly ameliorated the tremors in ET mice by reshaping the gut microbial composition, enhancing the GABA-producing capacity of the mucosa-associated microbiota, and elevating the GABA concentrations in the cerebellum. - supplementation of L5 did not lead to any conspicuous increase in the plasma concentrations of GABA in mice. - GABA synthesized by the intestinal L5 was conveyed to the brain via the “enteric nervous system–vagus nerve–brain” axis and subsequently relieved the tremor. - the administration of L5 significantly elevated the relative abundance of several probiotics (e.g., Lactobacillus and Akkermansia), improved the small intestinal barrier, and attenuated neuroinflammation in ET mice.
