Alzheimer's disease, a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder in the elderly, is characterized by the accumulation of senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, triggering oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and neuronal apoptosis. Current therapies focus on symptomatic treatment rather than targeting the underlying disease-modifying molecular mechanisms and are often associated with significant side effects. Bacopa monnieri, a traditional Indian herb with nootropic properties, has shown promise in neurological disorder treatment from ancient times. However, its mechanisms of action in Alzheimer's disease remain elusive. In this study, a cellular model for Alzheimer's disease was created by treating differentiated IMR-32 cells with beta-amyloid, 1–42 peptide (Aβ42). Additionally, a recovery model was established through co-treatment with Bacopa monnieri to explore its protective mechanism. Co-treatment with Bacopa monnieri extract recovered Aβ42 induced damage as evidenced by the decreased apoptosis and reduced reactive oxygen species production. Mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomic analysis identified 21,674 peptides, corresponding to 3626 proteins from the Alzheimer's disease model. The proteins dysregulated by Aβ42 were implicated in cellular functions, such as negative regulation of cell proliferation and microtubule cytoskeleton organization. The enriched pathways include extracellular matrix organization and interleukin-4 and interleukin-13 signaling. Bacopa monnieri co-treatment showed remarkable restoration of Aβ42 altered proteins, including FOSL1, and TDO2. The protein-protein interaction network analysis of Bacopa monnieri restored proteins identified the hub gene involved in Alzheimer's disease. The findings from this study may open up new avenues for creating innovative therapeutic approaches for Alzheimer's disease.
阿尔茨海默病是一种普遍存在于老年人中的神经退行性疾病,其特征是老年斑和神经纤维缠结的累积,引发氧化应激、神经炎症和神经元凋亡。目前的疗法侧重于对症治疗,而不是针对潜在的疾病改变分子机制,而且往往会产生严重的副作用。百服宁(Bacopa monnieri)是一种传统的印度草药,具有神经营养特性,自古以来就显示出治疗神经系统疾病的前景。然而,它在阿尔茨海默病中的作用机制仍然难以捉摸。在这项研究中,通过用β-淀粉样蛋白1-42肽(Aβ42)处理分化的IMR-32细胞,建立了阿尔茨海默病的细胞模型。此外,还通过与百忧解联合处理建立了一个恢复模型,以探索其保护机制。通过减少细胞凋亡和活性氧的产生,联合使用百服宁提取物可恢复 Aβ42 诱导的损伤。基于质谱的定量蛋白质组分析鉴定出了 21674 个肽段,对应于阿尔茨海默病模型中的 3626 个蛋白质。Aβ42调控失调的蛋白质与细胞功能有关,如细胞增殖负调控和微管细胞骨架组织。富集的途径包括细胞外基质组织以及白细胞介素-4和白细胞介素-13信号转导。百服宁联合治疗显示,Aβ42改变的蛋白质,包括FOSL1和TDO2,得到了显著的恢复。通过对单叶枯草恢复蛋白的蛋白-蛋白相互作用网络分析,确定了阿尔茨海默病的枢纽基因。这项研究的发现可能会为阿尔茨海默病的创新治疗方法开辟新的途径。

Epilepsy is a disorder characterized by an imbalance between excitability and inhibition, leading to uncontrolled hyperexcitability of neurons in the central nervous system. Despite the prevalence of epileptic seizures, the underlying mechanisms driving this hyperexcitability remain poorly understood. This review article aims to enhance our understanding of the mechanisms of epilepsy, with a specific focus on the role of cholecystokinin (CCK) in this debilitating disease. We will begin with an introduction to the topic, followed by an examination of the role of GABAergic neurons and the synaptic plasticity mechanisms associated with seizures. As we delve deeper, we will elucidate how CCK and its receptors contribute to seizure behavior. Finally, we will discuss the CCK-dependent synaptic plasticity mechanisms and highlight their potential implications in seizure activity. Through a comprehensive examination of these aspects, this review provides valuable insights into the involvement of CCK and its receptors in epilepsy. By improving our understanding of the mechanisms underlying this condition, particularly the role of CCK, we aim to contribute to the development of more effective treatment strategies.
癫痫是一种以兴奋性和抑制性失衡为特征的疾病,会导致中枢神经系统的神经元出现不受控制的过度兴奋。尽管癫痫发作十分普遍,但人们对这种过度兴奋的内在机制仍然知之甚少。这篇综述文章旨在加深我们对癫痫机制的了解,并特别关注胆囊收缩素(CCK)在这一使人衰弱的疾病中的作用。我们将首先介绍这一主题,然后探讨 GABA 能神经元的作用以及与癫痫发作相关的突触可塑性机制。随着研究的深入,我们将阐明 CCK 及其受体如何对癫痫发作行为产生影响。最后,我们将讨论依赖 CCK 的突触可塑性机制,并强调其在癫痫发作活动中的潜在影响。通过对这些方面的全面研究,本综述为了解 CCK 及其受体在癫痫中的作用提供了宝贵的见解。我们希望通过加深对癫痫发病机制的了解,特别是对CCK作用的了解,为制定更有效的治疗策略做出贡献。

The present study was designed to evaluate the beneficial effects of hydroalcoholic root extract of Withania somnifera (WS) on ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) induced by Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion (MCAO). MCAO animals showed increase in IL-6, TNF-α and MCP-1 levels in terms of mRNA and protein levels. Concomitantly, mRNA and protein levels for astrocyte and microglial activation markers; GFAP and IBA-1, were increased in MCAO animals. COX-2 and NF-kβ protein levels were also increased in the brains of MCAO animals. The levels of neurotransmitters; glutamate and GABA were increased in the MCAO animals. On the contrary, levels of catecholamines; dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin were reduced in the MCAO animals. Additionally, MCAO animals showed reduced locomotor activity. However, pre-supplementation with WS hydro-alcoholic root extract at a dose of 300 mg/kg, body weight to MCAO animals reduced the expression of IL-6, TNF-α and MCP-1. In addition, WS also reduced the number of GFAP and Iba-1 positive cells in comparison to MCAO animals. WS pre-supplementation was also observed to inhibit MCAO induced increase in COX-2; NF-kβ proteins and reduce the glutamate levels. The levels of GABA, dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin were increased in WS pre-supplemented MCAO animals. WS pre-supplementation also prevented motor deficits in the MCAO animals. Taken together, these findings suggest that WS is effective in attenuating IRI induced neuroinflammation, neurochemical alterations and motor deficits in MCAO model of ischemic stroke thereby suggesting its ameliorative role in ischemia-reperfusion injury.
本研究旨在评估薇甘菊(WS)水醇根提取物对大脑中动脉闭塞(MCAO)诱导的缺血再灌注损伤(IRI)的有益作用。MCAO 动物的 mRNA 和蛋白水平显示 IL-6、TNF-α 和 MCP-1 水平升高。同时,MCAO动物的星形胶质细胞和小胶质细胞活化标记物(GFAP和IBA-1)的mRNA和蛋白质水平也有所升高。MCAO动物大脑中的COX-2和NF-kβ蛋白水平也有所增加。神经递质谷氨酸和 GABA 的水平在 MCAO 动物中有所增加。相反,MCAO 动物体内儿茶酚胺、多巴胺、去甲肾上腺素和血清素的水平降低。此外,MCAO 动物的运动活动减少。然而,在 MCAO 动物体内预先补充 300 毫克/千克(体重)剂量的 WS 水醇根提取物可减少 IL-6、TNF-α 和 MCP-1 的表达。此外,与 MCAO 动物相比,WS 还能减少 GFAP 和 Iba-1 阳性细胞的数量。观察还发现,预先补充 WS 可抑制 MCAO 诱导的 COX-2、NF-kβ 蛋白的增加,并降低谷氨酸的水平。在预先补充 WS 的 MCAO 动物中,GABA、多巴胺、去甲肾上腺素和血清素的水平均有所提高。预先补充 WS 还能防止 MCAO 动物出现运动障碍。综上所述,这些研究结果表明,WS 能有效减轻 IRI 诱导的神经炎症、神经化学物质改变和缺血性中风 MCAO 模型的运动障碍,从而表明其在缺血再灌注损伤中的改善作用。

Alzheimer's disease, a neurodegenerative condition, is characterized by the slow and progressive deterioration of the cognitive functions of geriatric patients. It occurs due to exacerbation of neurons in the brain, indicated by loss of memory, mood instability, and even death. The aggregation of amyloid β protein and neurofibrillary tangles-atypical forms of tau protein is the major cause of this disease. Phytoconstituents have been frequently employed in treating Alzheimer's disease. These natural compounds act through different molecular mechanisms to treat the disease. However, their potential in Alzheimer's disease therapy may be limited due to poor blood-brain barrier permeability, off-target effects, low bioavailability, etc. In recent times, nanotechnology has gained attraction to overcome these challenges. This article focuses on the potential phytoconstituents for Alzheimer's disease treatment and the associated limitations. Moreover, it highlights various nanoformulation strategies employed to penetrate the blood-brain barrier effectively, avoid side effects, improve bioavailability, and target specificity in treating Alzheimer's disease. The integration of nanotechnology with plant-derived compounds has the potential to revolutionize the therapeutic landscape for Alzheimer's disease.
阿尔茨海默病是一种神经退行性疾病,其特征是老年患者的认知功能缓慢而逐渐地退化。它的发生是由于大脑神经元的恶化,表现为记忆力减退、情绪不稳定,甚至死亡。淀粉样β蛋白和神经纤维缠结(tau蛋白的典型形式)的聚集是这种疾病的主要原因。植物成分经常被用于治疗阿尔茨海默病。这些天然化合物通过不同的分子机制来治疗这种疾病。然而,由于血脑屏障渗透性差、脱靶效应、生物利用度低等原因,它们在阿尔茨海默病治疗中的潜力可能受到限制。近来,纳米技术在克服这些挑战方面越来越有吸引力。本文重点介绍了治疗阿尔茨海默病的潜在植物成分及其相关局限性。此外,文章还重点介绍了各种纳米制剂策略,以有效穿透血脑屏障、避免副作用、提高生物利用度和治疗阿尔茨海默病的靶向特异性。纳米技术与植物提取化合物的结合有望彻底改变阿尔茨海默病的治疗格局。

Traumatic brain injury is a highly irreversible process that consists of primary as well as secondary injury which develops and progresses over months to years, leading to cognitive dysfunctions. Vitamin B12 received considerable interest due to its potential therapeutic properties. The pathways of vitamin B12 are closely related to neuronal survival but its effects on the pathophysiology of injury with respect to cognition is a relatively unexplored area of research. In this study, we investigated, the effect of vitamin B12 and its involvement in neuroprotection on TBI-induced pathophysiology in male Swiss albino mice. Our findings suggested that vitamin B12 supplementation improves TBI-mediated neurological impairments, spatial and recognition memory, and anxiety-like behavior. Furthermore, the oxidative stress was reduced by declined homocysteine level with vitamin B12 supplementation validating declined expression of astrocytes and TBI biomarkers. The studies on neuronal morphology revealed that vitamin B12 supplementation increases the dendritic arborization and density of mushroom and filopodia-shaped spines and further increases the expression of synaptic plasticity-related genes and proteins. Taken together, our findings reveal that, supplementation of vitamin B12 restored the TBI-induced downregulation of dendritic arborization, and spine density which ultimately increases synaptic plasticity, cell survival, and recovery of cognitive dysfunctions.
创伤性脑损伤是一个高度不可逆的过程,包括原发性和继发性损伤,经过数月至数年的发展和演变,导致认知功能障碍。维生素 B12 因其潜在的治疗特性而备受关注。维生素 B12 的作用途径与神经元的存活密切相关,但其对认知损伤的病理生理学的影响是一个相对尚未开发的研究领域。在这项研究中,我们调查了维生素 B12 及其参与神经保护对雄性瑞士白化小鼠创伤性脑损伤引起的病理生理学的影响。我们的研究结果表明,补充维生素 B12 可改善创伤性脑损伤引起的神经损伤、空间记忆和识别记忆以及焦虑行为。此外,补充维生素 B12 后,同型半胱氨酸水平下降,氧化应激也随之减少,这验证了星形胶质细胞和创伤性脑损伤生物标志物表达的下降。对神经元形态学的研究表明,补充维生素 B12 可增加树突轴化以及蘑菇状和丝状棘突的密度,并进一步增加突触可塑性相关基因和蛋白的表达。综上所述,我们的研究结果表明,补充维生素 B12 可恢复创伤性脑损伤引起的树突轴化和棘突密度下调,从而最终提高突触可塑性、细胞存活率和认知功能障碍的恢复。

Some therapeutic agents have been found to have effects beyond their primary indications. Peripheral neuropathy, a common side effect of chemotherapy, remains inadequately treated. Identifying additional properties of existing medications could thus uncover novel therapeutic avenues. Previous studies have identified an additional effect of simvastatin in reducing neuropathy; however, the mechanism underlying this effect remains unclear. We investigated the novel effects of statins on chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy in mice. Mice treated with oxaliplatin or paclitaxel did not show exacerbation or improvement in cold sensations upon acetone testing with statin administration. However, concurrent oral statin treatment mitigated the nociceptive response to mechanical stimuli induced by each anti-tumor agent. Co-administration of a glutathione S-transferase inhibitor, which modulates redox reactions, abolished the ameliorative effect of statins on mechanical nociceptive behavior. Additionally, the glutathione S-transferase inhibitor did not affect normal sensory perception or impair the anti-tumor effect of chemotherapy agents. A search for GST-associated molecules and pathways using artificial intelligence revealed that GST regulates inflammatory cytokines as a regulatory or causative gene. Our findings suggest that statins have class effects that ameliorate cytotoxic anti-cancer drug-induced mechanical allodynia via GST pathway activation.
一些治疗药物被发现具有超出其主要适应症的效果。周围神经病变是化疗的一种常见副作用,但治疗效果不佳。因此,识别现有药物的其他特性可以发现新的治疗途径。先前的研究发现辛伐他汀具有减轻神经病变的额外作用,但这种作用的机制仍不清楚。我们研究了他汀类药物对化疗引起的小鼠周围神经病变的新作用。接受奥沙利铂或紫杉醇治疗的小鼠在服用他汀类药物进行丙酮测试时,冷感没有出现加剧或改善。不过,同时口服他汀类药物可减轻每种抗肿瘤药物诱发的机械刺激痛觉反应。同时服用谷胱甘肽-S-转移酶抑制剂(可调节氧化还原反应)可消除他汀类药物对机械痛觉行为的改善作用。此外,谷胱甘肽-S-转移酶抑制剂不会影响正常的感官知觉,也不会损害化疗药物的抗肿瘤作用。利用人工智能搜索谷胱甘肽相关分子和通路发现,谷胱甘肽作为调节基因或致病基因调节炎症细胞因子。我们的研究结果表明,他汀类药物具有类药物效应,可通过激活 GST 通路改善细胞毒性抗癌药物诱导的机械异感。

Co-administration of a glutathione S-transferase inhibitor, which modulates redox reactions, abolished the ameliorative effect of statins on mechanical nociceptive behavior. Additionally, the glutathione S-transferase inhibitor did not affect normal sensory perception or impair the anti-tumor effect of chemotherapy agents. A search for GST-associated molecules and pathways using artificial intelligence revealed that GST regulates inflammatory cytokines as a regulatory or causative gene. Our findings suggest that statins have class effects that ameliorate cytotoxic anti-cancer drug-induced mechanical allodynia via GST pathway activation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":398,"journal":{"name":"Neurochemistry international","volume":"180 ","pages":"Article 105863"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142278245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Centella asiatica Linn Urban (C. asiatica), aka Mandukparni, is one of the flagship herbs used in traditional medicines to effectively manage neurological problems. Although this plant has a wealth of comprehensive preclinical pharmacological profiles, further clinical research and execution of its molecular mode of action are still required. We searched electronic databases (Google Scholar, SciFinder, MEDLINE, Scopus, EMBASE, Science Direct, and PubMed) using relevant key words to retrieve information pertaining to C. asiatica till June 2023 and performed network pharmacology to understand the mechanism related to their neurobiological roles. This study extensively analyses its pharmacological properties, nutritional profile, ethnomedical uses, safety, and mechanistic role in treating neurological and neurodegenerative disorders. Additionally, a network pharmacology study was performed which suggests that its phytomolecules are involved in different neuroactive ligand-receptor pathways, glial cell differentiation, gliogenesis, and astrocyte differentiation. Hopefully, this report will lead to a paradigm shift in medical practice, research, and the creation of phytopharmaceuticals derived from C. asiatica that target the central nervous system.
积雪草(Centella asiatica Linn Urban),又名曼杜克帕尼(Mandukparni),是传统医学中用于有效治疗神经问题的主要草药之一。虽然这种植物拥有丰富全面的临床前药理特征,但仍需要进一步的临床研究并确定其分子作用模式。我们使用相关关键词搜索了电子数据库(Google Scholar、SciFinder、MEDLINE、Scopus、EMBASE、Science Direct 和 PubMed),检索了截至 2023 年 6 月有关茜草的信息,并进行了网络药理学研究,以了解其神经生物学作用的相关机制。本研究广泛分析了其药理特性、营养成分、民族医药用途、安全性以及在治疗神经和神经退行性疾病中的作用机制。此外,还进行了一项网络药理学研究,表明其植物大分子参与了不同的神经活性配体-受体通路、神经胶质细胞分化、神经胶质细胞生成和星形胶质细胞分化。希望本报告能促使医学实践、研究和针对中枢神经系统的茜草提取物植物药的开发发生范式转变。

S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) plays a critical role in the development of neural tube defects (NTDs). Studies have shown that the paired box 3 (Pax3) gene is involved in neural tube closure. However, the exact mechanism between Pax3 and NTDs induced by SAM deficiency remains unclear. Here, The NTD mouse model was induced using cycloleucine (CL), an inhibitor of SAM biosynthesis, to determine the effect of Pax3 on NTDs. The effect of CL on NTD occurrence was assessed by 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine (EdU) staining, immunohistochemistry, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL), quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and Western blot in NTD embryonic brain tissues and immortalized hippocampal neuron cells (HT-22). A high incidence of NTDs was observed when CL was administered at a dose of 200 mg/kg body weight. The levels of SAM and Pax3 were significantly reduced in NTD embryonic brain tissues and HT-22 cells after CL exposure. Decreased proliferation and excessive apoptosis were observed in neuroepithelial cells of NTD embryos and HT-22 cells under SAM deficiency, but these effects were reversed by overexpression of Pax3. These results suggest that decreased expression of Pax3 impairs the dynamic balance between cellular proliferation and apoptosis, contributing to NTDs induced by SAM deficiency, which would provide new insights for clarifying the underlying mechanism of NTDs.
S- 腺苷蛋氨酸(SAM)在神经管畸形(NTD)的发育过程中起着至关重要的作用。研究表明,配对盒 3(Pax3)基因参与了神经管闭合。然而,Pax3与SAM缺乏诱导的NTD之间的确切机制仍不清楚。在此,我们使用SAM生物合成抑制剂环亮氨酸(CL)诱导了NTD小鼠模型,以确定Pax3对NTD的影响。在NTD胚胎脑组织和永生化海马神经元细胞(HT-22)中,通过5-乙炔基-2'-脱氧尿苷(EdU)染色、免疫组化、末端脱氧核苷酸转移酶介导的dUTP缺口标记(TUNEL)、实时定量反转录聚合酶链反应(qRT-PCR)和Western印迹等方法评估了CL对NTD发生的影响。当 CL 的剂量为 200 毫克/千克体重时,NTD 的发生率很高。接触 CL 后,NTD 胚胎脑组织和 HT-22 细胞中的 SAM 和 Pax3 水平显著降低。在 SAM 缺乏的情况下,NTD 胚胎和 HT-22 细胞的神经上皮细胞出现增殖减少和过度凋亡,但过表达 Pax3 可逆转这些影响。这些结果表明,Pax3表达减少会破坏细胞增殖和凋亡之间的动态平衡,从而导致SAM缺乏诱导的NTD,这将为阐明NTD的内在机制提供新的见解。

Background

Fibrotic scar formation is a critical pathological change impacting tissue reconstruction and functional recovery after ischemic stroke. The regulatory mechanisms behind fibrotic scarring in the central nervous system (CNS) remain largely unknown. While macrophages are known to play a role in fibrotic scar formation in peripheral tissues, the involvement of microglia, the resident immune cells of the CNS, in CNS fibrosis requires further exploration. The Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) signaling pathway, pivotal in embryonic development and tissue regeneration, is also crucial in modulating fibrosis in peripheral tissues. However, the impact and regulatory mechanisms of Shh on fibrotic scar formation post-ischemic stroke have not been thoroughly investigated.

Methods

This study explores whether Shh can regulate fibrotic scar formation post-ischemic stroke and its underlying mechanisms through in vivo and in vitro manipulation of Shh expression.

Results

Our results showed that Shh expression was upregulated in the serum of acute ischemic stroke patients, as well as in the serum, CSF, and ischemic regions of MCAO/R mice. Moreover, the upregulation of Shh expression was positively correlated with fibrotic scar formation and M2 microglial polarization. Shh knockdown inhibited fibrotic scar formation and M2 microglial polarization while aggravating neurological deficits in MCAO/R mice. In vitro, adenoviral knockdown or Smoothened Agonist (SAG) activation of Shh expression in BV2 cells following OGD/R regulated their polarization and influenced the expression of TGFβ1 and PDGFA, subsequently affecting fibroblast activation.

Conclusion

These results suggest that Shh regulates M2 microglial polarization and fibrotic scar formation after cerebral ischemia.
背景:纤维化瘢痕的形成是影响缺血性中风后组织重建和功能恢复的关键病理变化。中枢神经系统(CNS)纤维化瘢痕背后的调控机制在很大程度上仍不为人所知。虽然已知巨噬细胞在外周组织的纤维化瘢痕形成中发挥作用,但中枢神经系统的常驻免疫细胞小胶质细胞参与中枢神经系统纤维化的情况还需要进一步探索。音速刺猬(Shh)信号通路在胚胎发育和组织再生中起着关键作用,在调节外周组织纤维化方面也至关重要。然而,Shh 对缺血性脑卒中后纤维化瘢痕形成的影响和调控机制尚未得到深入研究:方法:本研究通过在体内和体外操纵 Shh 的表达,探讨 Shh 能否调控缺血性脑卒中后纤维化瘢痕的形成及其内在机制:结果:我们的研究结果表明,急性缺血性脑卒中患者的血清以及 MCAO/R 小鼠的血清、脑脊液和缺血区域中 Shh 表达上调。此外,Shh表达的上调与纤维化瘢痕形成和M2小胶质细胞极化呈正相关。敲除Shh可抑制纤维化瘢痕形成和M2小胶质细胞极化,同时加重MCAO/R小鼠的神经功能缺损。在体外,腺病毒敲除或平滑激动剂(SAG)激活OGD/R后BV2细胞中的Shh表达,可调节其极化,并影响TGFβ1和PDGFA的表达,进而影响成纤维细胞的活化:这些结果表明,Shh 可调控脑缺血后 M2 小胶质细胞的极化和纤维化瘢痕的形成。

Our investigations on GABA-enriched tea and the reduction of stress in a student cohort have shown that more than just GABA may be involved. The effects of other constituents that are changed in the enrichment process are likely to be important. We have concentrated on GABA as well as the major tea flavonoid, epigallocatechin gallate. While this flavonoid is known to get to the brain on oral administration, it is far from clear that GABA does the same. GABA may act primarily on the gut and influence brain function via the gut-brain axis and the gut microbiome. In addition, there may be a microbiome in the brain that has a role. The situation is complex and not clearly understood. Mixtures of bioactive compounds are always difficult to investigate, but even the precise mechanisms of how pure oral GABA acts as a neuro-nutraceutical is unclear.
我们对富含 GABA 的茶叶和减轻学生压力的研究表明,这可能不仅仅与 GABA 有关。在富集过程中发生变化的其他成分的影响可能也很重要。我们重点研究了 GABA 以及主要的茶黄酮类化合物--表没食子儿茶素没食子酸酯。众所周知,这种类黄酮经口服可进入大脑,但 GABA 是否也能进入大脑还不清楚。GABA 可能主要作用于肠道,并通过肠脑轴和肠道微生物群影响大脑功能。此外,大脑中的微生物群也可能发挥作用。情况错综复杂,尚不清楚。生物活性化合物的混合物总是难以研究,但即使是纯口服 GABA 如何作为神经营养素发挥作用的确切机制也不清楚。
