Examine highlights the therapeutic advantages of the probiotics in kefir in opposition to oxidative stress and irritation, that are essential contributors to continual neural disturbances together with Parkinson’s illness, Alzheimer’s illness, dementia, and epilepsy
MORTON GROVE, In poor health., Dec. 13, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lifeway Meals, Inc. (Nasdaq: LWAY) (“Lifeway” or “the Firm”), the main U.S. producer of kefir and fermented probiotic merchandise to help the microbiome, at present applauds the current evaluate titled “The Rising Situation of the Intestine–Mind Axis: The Therapeutic Actions of the New Actor Kefir in opposition to Neurodegenerative Ailments” printed in Antioxidants. The evaluate examines the connection between disturbances within the intestine microbiota and the development of continual neurodegenerative illnesses, and the way the protecting and therapeutic results of probiotics, comparable to these present in kefir, could play an instrumental position in slowing the development of such illnesses, which embrace Parkinson’s illness, Alzheimer’s illness, dementia, and epilepsy.
This evaluate serves as a continuation of the analysis inspecting the anti-inflammatory results of kefir’s probiotic cultures and peptides on the microbiome. Whereas earlier research have centered on the immune well being advantages of probiotics, particularly their potential to protect against viral infections and help mitigate inflammatory conditions resulting from COVID-19, this most up-to-date evaluate takes a more in-depth have a look at the gut-brain axis and the way the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties might help forestall neuronal degeneration related to the abovementioned continual neurodegenerative illnesses. Key findings from the evaluate embrace:
-
Neurodegeneration has been related to irritation and its mediators, which collectively result in endothelial dysfunction, resulting in blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption [44], apoptosis [221], necroptosis, [222,223], neuronal autophagy [224,225], and astrogliopathy [226] and accumulation of Aβ and tau protein [227,228]. These occasions related to reactive oxygen species (ROS) set off neurodegenerative occasions [227,229,230,231]
-
The microbial composition of the gastrointestinal tract influences neuronal tissue via varied pathways, comparable to immune, neurological, and endocrine signaling [241,242], affecting conduct, BBB integrity, neurogenesis, and neurotransmitter manufacturing [243]. In response to oxidative stress, intestine microbiota variety is altered, which might even set off neuroinflammation and, consequently, neurodegeneration [244,245].
-
Earlier proof factors to the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory potential of kefir. Issues related to irritation are a key explanation for morbidity and mortality as a consequence of continual illnesses. Peptides from kefir inhibited the NF-κB signaling pathway [163], elevated anti-inflammatory (IL-10), and decreased the manufacturing of proinflammatory cytokines (comparable to INF, IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF) [40,115,159,204,211].
-
The probiotics in kefir had a potential neuroprotective impact because of the modulation of the microbiota, which was related to diminished expression of inflammatory cytokines and ROS manufacturing, leading to much less cognitive injury [115]. The rise in these genera of micro organism proved to be an essential indicator of intestine microbiome reestablishment [250,294,295].
-
Not too long ago, Olsson et al. (2020) [296] printed a big cohort research that included roughly 82,000 Swedish adults, and the outcomes confirmed the affiliation between milk consumption and an elevated danger of Parkinson’s illness (PD) (as beforehand noticed by others) [297,298]. In distinction, fermented milk (soured milk and yogurt) consumption was not related to an elevated danger of creating PD [298].
Whereas further analysis is required, Lifeway is inspired by the preliminary findings that place kefir as an accessible, food-based therapeutic therapy possibility for the thousands and thousands of individuals worldwide affected by continual neurodegenerative illnesses.
“At Lifeway Meals, we’re persistently impressed and warranted by the unimaginable analysis across the microbiome’s results on total well being and the potential to assist individuals reside more healthy, extra fulfilling lives by consuming fermented, probiotic meals and taking a proactive position in sustaining their intestine well being,” states Julie Smolyansky, CEO of Lifeway Meals, Inc. “As at all times, we proceed to salute these whose analysis builds upon the inspiration laid by Nobel Prize winner Élie Metchnikoff. We provide thanks and gratitude to the scientific group for his or her efforts to unlock life-changing breakthroughs although the modulation of intestine microbiota, and for serving to us unfold the phrase about the advantages of probiotics and kefir.”
Because the main U.S. provider of kefir, Lifeway Kefir is made with 12 energetic cultures and full of protein, calcium and vitamin D. Every product is loaded with probiotics, which analysis suggests could assist to help the microbiome. Moreover, analysis, such because the findings outlined above, means that probiotic merchandise comparable to kefir could assist help the physique’s response to lower irritation.
Lifeway Meals CEO Julie Smolyansky will likely be discussing analysis and pure meals tendencies on December fifteenth on the Global Consumer Growth Conference introduced by Wolfe Analysis.
