The Importance of the Microbiome in the Alzheimer Disease Pathology - the Possible Relevance of Some Metabolic Deficiencies

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: With the latest increased awareness on the connections that might exist between the modifications of microflora and most of the neuropsychiatric disorders, we focused our efforts from the present mini-review on discussing the possible interactions between the pathophysiology of Alzheimer’s disease (the most important neuropsychiatric disorder, as judged by the number of patients affected worldwide) and microflora functioning. In addition, we speculate here about the importance of some related metabolic modifications on the context of the aforementioned importance of the microbiome in the Alzheimer’s disease pathology.
