Mitochondrial Health and Antibiotics
Antibiotics are lifesaving medications, but their impact on mitochondrial health is a growing area of concern. Since mitochondria evolved from ancient bacteria (endosymbiotic theory), some antibiotics unintentionally target mitochondrial function, leading to energy deficits, oxidative stress, and long-term metabolic consequences. How Antibiotics Affect Mitochondria 1. Mitochondrial Protein Synthesis Inhibition 2. Increased Oxidative Stress 3. Mitochondrial…
Antibiotics affect gut microbiome and brain. Probiotics reverse these changes
Collectively, the data suggest that long-term use of antibiotics appears to disrupt the intestinal epithelial barrier and alter neurobehavioral qualities specifically, long-term memory and exploratory drive, possibly through the reduction of BDNF, and probiotics partially reverse these effects. Our study emphasizes the effect of prolonged intake of antibiotics on production of dysbiosis as well as…
