Depression, anxiety, and telomere length in young adults: Evidence from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
Abstract
Telomere length has been hypothesized to be a marker of cumulative exposure to stress, and stress is an established cause of depression and anxiety disorders. The goal of this study was to examine the relationship between depression, anxiety and telomere length, and to assess whether this relationship is moderated by race/ethnicity, gender, and/or antidepressant use. Data were from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1999–2002. Telomere ...

Depression among people with type 2 diabetes mellitus, US National Health and
Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), 2005–2012
Abstract
Background: Depression in people with diabetes can result in increased risk for diabetes-related complications. The prevalence of depression has been estimated to be 17.6 % in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), based on studies published between 1980 and 2005. There is a lack of more recent estimates of depression prevalence among the US general T2DM population.
Methods: The present study used the US National Health and Nutrition ...

Decreased Prostaglandin D2 Levels in Major Depressive Disorder Are Associated with Depression- Like Behaviors
Abstract
Background: Prostaglandin (PG) D2 is the most abundant prostaglandin in the mammalian brain. The physiological and pharmacological actions of PGD2 in the central nervous system seem to be associated with some of the symptoms exhibited by patients with major depressive disorder. Previous studies have found that PGD2 synthase was decreased in the cerebrospinal fluid of major depressive disorder patients. We speculated that there may be a dysregulation of PGD2 levels ...

Complementary and Alternative Medicine Therapies for Perinatal Depression
Abstract
Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) therapies are increasingly sought out by patients with psychiatric disorders. This article provides a review of the evidence for several
commonly utilized CAM therapies (i.e. omega-3 fatty acids, folate, S-adenosyl-methionine
(SAMe), St. John’s Wort, bright light therapy, exercise, massage, and acupuncture) in the
treatment of perinatal depression. A number of these treatments may be reasonable to consider for women during pregnancy or the postpartum, but ...

A study on the relationship between compulsive exercise, depression and anxiety
Background and aims: Exercise and physical activity are beneficial both physically and psychologically but a few individuals use exercise excessively resulting in physical and even psychological damage. There is evidence for bidirectional relationship between exercise with depression and anxiety showing that exercise can reduce anxiety and depression, whereas a lack of exercise is associated with higher levels of anxiety and depression. Methods: This study used questionnaires assessing compulsive exercise, ...

Western diets, gut dysbiosis, and metabolic diseases: Are they linked?
ABSTRACT
Obesity afflicts 36.5% of the US population and 600 million individuals world-wide. Thus, it is imperative to understand the risk factors underlying metabolic disease including diet, activity level, sleep, and genetics. Another key contributory factor is the gut microbiota given its widely reported role in the development of metabolic disease. The gut microbiota, particularly its structure and function, is heavily influenced by Western style diets rich in a complex mixture of fats and high in simple ...

Vitamin D Deficiency Promotes Epithelial Barrier Dysfunction and Intestinal Inflammation
Background. Vitamin D, an important modulator of the immune system, has been shown to protect mucosal
barrier homeostasis. This study investigates the effects of vitamin D deficiency on infection-induced changes in
intestinal epithelial barrier function in vitro and on Citrobacter rodentium–induced colitis in mice.
Methods. Polarized epithelial Caco2-bbe cells were grown in medium with or without vitamin D and challenged
with enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7. Barrier function and tight ...

Understanding the Representative Gut Microbiota Dysbiosis in Metformin-Treated Type 2 Diabetes Patients Using Genome-Scale Metabolic Modeling
Dysbiosis in the gut microbiome composition may be promoted by therapeutic drugs such as metformin, the world’s most prescribed antidiabetic drug. Under metformin treatment, disturbances of the intestinal microbes lead to increased abundance of Escherichia spp., Akkermansia muciniphila, Subdoligranulum variabile and decreased abundance of Intestinibacter bartlettii. This alteration may potentially lead to adverse effects on the host ...
