Mehanizam
Što je zapravo osovina crijeva i mozga
Stvaran komunikacijski sustav, opsežno karakteriziran u glodavaca, a znatno slabije utvrđen u ljudima kojima se prodaje.
Putevi
| Put | Mehanizam | Dokazi kod ljudi |
|---|---|---|
| Vagusni nerv | Aferentna vlakna prenose signale iz crijeva do moždanog debla | Anatomski utvrđeno; uzročnu ulogu teže je testirati |
| Mikrobni metaboliti | Kratkolančane masne kiseline i prekursori neurotransmitera ulaze u krvotok | Mjerljivo; učinci koji iz toga proizlaze nejasni su |
| Imunosna signalizacija | Propusnost crijeva i upalni citokini | Povezanosti su utvrđene; smjer je osporavan |
| HPA os | Hormoni stresa mijenjaju funkciju crijeva i obrnuto | Dvosmjerno i dobro dokumentirano |
| Enterički nervni sustav | Vlastiti neuroni crijeva koji djeluju polunezavisno | Dobro karakterizirano |
Ništa od ovoga nije rubna znanost. Enterički nervni sustav sadrži nekoliko stotina milijuna neurona i djeluje sa značajnom autonomijom. Stanje crijeva utječe na raspoloženje, a raspoloženje utječe na funkciju crijeva, što već znaju svi koji su bili nervozni prije ispita.
Putevi komunikacije crijeva i mozga
Problem smjera
Sustavni pregled pokazuje razlike u mikrobioti između osoba s depresijom ili anksioznošću i kontrolnih skupina [2]. Pitanje koje odlučuje o svemu je u kojem smjeru pokazuje strelica.
Depresija mijenja što ljudi jedu, koliko se kreću, kako spavaju i often često koje lijekove uzimaju. Svaka od tih promjena utječe na mikrobiom. Razlika u sastavu mikrobioma je stoga upravo ono što bismo očekivali ako depresija uzrokuje promjenu mikrobioma, a mikrobiom sam ne čini ništa.
Ista se teškoća odnosi na literaturu o metaboličkom sindromu [3] i na istraživanja autizma [4], gdje je selektivnost u prehrani česta i sama bi po sebi mogla stvoriti razlike u mikrobiomu.
Što bi to razrješilo
Randomizirana istraživanja definiranih intervencija na mikrobiomu s kliničkim ishodima, dovoljnim trajanjem i dovoljnom veličinom uzorka. Ona se počinju pojavljivati i to je razlog zašto će se ova stranica mijenjati. Do tada, pošten stav je da os postoji, ali da su potrošačke primjene izgrađene na njoj nedokazane — vidi probiotici.
Često postavljana pitanja
Je li crijevo zaista "drugi mozak"?
Dolazi li 90% serotonina iz crijeva?
Može li promjena prehrane promijeniti moje raspoloženje putem crijeva?
Što stvarno treba učiniti?
