Abstract

The gut microbiota may influence the progression of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

  • Gut microbiota is associated with the health of the digestive tract and overall human health.
  • There is emerging evidence that gut microbiota can affect neurodegenerative disease progression.
  • Mechanisms of influence include inflammatory responses and the production of neuroactive substances.
  • Gut microbiota may regulate neurotransmitters, impacting brain function.
  • Targeting gut microbiota with probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics could offer potential therapeutic options.
  • Challenges and limitations exist for these interventions, indicating the need for further research.
