Gut #microbiota and #neurological effects of #glyphosate

"There are currently various concerns regarding certain #environmental #toxins and the possible impact they can have on developmental diseases. #Glyphosate (Gly) is the most utilised #herbicide in #agriculture, although its widespread use is generating controversy in the scientific world because of its probable carcinogenic effect on human cells. Gly performs as an inhibitor of 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phospate synthase (EPSP synthase), not only in plants, but also in bacteria. An inhibiting effect on EPSP synthase from intestinal microbiota has been reported, affecting mainly beneficial bacteria. To the contrary, Clostridium spp. and Salmonella strains are shown to be resistant to Gly. Consequently, researchers have suggested that Gly can cause #dysbiosis, a phenomenon which is characterised by an imbalance between beneficial and pathogenic #microorganisms. The overgrowth of bacteria such as #clostridia generates high levels of noxious metabolites in the #brain, which can contribute to the development of neurological deviations. This work reviews the impact of Gly-induced intestinal #dysbiosis on the central nervous system, focusing on emotional, neurological and #neurodegenerative disorders. A wide variety of factors were investigated in relation to brain-related changes, including highlighting #genetic abnormalities, pregnancy-associated problems, diet, infections, vaccines and heavy metals. However, more studies are required to determine the implication of the most internationally used herbicide, Gly, in behavioural disorders."

For the next step in dealing with allergenic reactions is to successfully have the body's gut microbiome produce an abundance of anti-allergenic molecules.

Researchers at the University of Chicago have used polymeric micelles containing anti-allergen butyrate to cause gut Clostridia that also makes it to proliferate, preventing anaphylactic shock in mice from peanuts.
