Component

Brain GABA-B receptor subunit 1b messenger RNA expression

Brain GABA-B receptor subunit 1b messenger RNA expression. Species, exposure and limitations are retained in each linked claim.

1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.

How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What acts on it

  1. Chronic treatment with L. rhamnosus JB-1 induced region-dependent alterations in GABA-B1b messenger RNA in the brain with increases in cortical regions and concomitant reductions in expression in the hippocampus, amygdala and locus coeruleus compared with control-fed mice, the strain reduced stress-induced corticosterone and anxiety- and depression-related behavior, and the neurochemical and behavioral effects were not found in vagotomized mice, identifying the vagus as a major modulatory constitutive communication pathway between the bacteria exposed to the gut and the brain.

    Chronic feeding of a single bacterial strain with regional brain receptor expression, behaviour and vagotomy
    exposure
    Chronic Lactobacillus rhamnosus JB-1 in normal healthy mice, with and without vagotomy
    limitations
    The vagotomy arm is what localises the route. It is a single strain in one mouse background, and the receptor changes are messenger RNA rather than protein.

    plain_language
    Feeding one bacterium changed behaviour and brain receptors, and cutting the nerve from gut to brain abolished it.
