Abstract


Recent discoveries have focused on the linking of gut-microbiome and the brain, which are achieved though several pathways, such as vagus nerve, immune system and endocrine system (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axes). In present review we discussed the microbial metabolites, short chain fatty acids, in gastrointestinal functional, neuro-immune regulation and their role in stress-induced behavioral and physiological alterations. Furthermore we discussed the impact on the corticoid action of micRNAs. In case reports we showed that Kampo medicine, Yokukansan with aloe vera juice (AVJ) as an adjuvant exhibited possible efficacy for modulation in brain homeostasis and the drug privation with AVJ provided health maintenance in patient with Hashimoto’s clinical history and well-being QOL.
