Scientists from the Medical College Cornell vail (USA) has received new evidence that development of depression can have not only psychological, nefiziologichnoe roots. Experts believe that the risk of depression in humans is associated with osobennostyami of the intestine, in particular, with a content of bacteria of the genus Bacteroides.
The bacteria Bacteroides, as the researchers explain, one of the most common in the human intestine. Due to the activity of the bacteria Bacteroides processes of fermentation of carbohydrates, utilization of protein iglckym acids. The study authors stated that bacteria of this genus produce the neurotransmitter GABA – gamma-aminobutyric acid, which according to them is due the development of depression. Low GABA levels has a strong correlation mozgovyi signatures of depression, stated the experts.
“Synthesized by the bacteria Bacteroides, GABA performs a protective function, protecting the brain of thepartially obespechivaya him peace.Primeralinea such protection, people begin to suffer odpowiedni anxiety, insomnia, and depression,” – said the scientists.
Open them the connection between the content of intestinal bacteria, Bacteroides, producing essential brain neurotransmitter, and the risk of developing depression can produce fundamentally new method of treatment of this disorder. According to researchers, in experiments namirah they have been able to ensure that copovidone level of GABA reduces the symptoms of depression.
