Abstract:

Neurodegenerative disease is a highly disabling and fatal disease that occurs in the central nervous system. The main population is the middle-aged and the elderly. At present, the pathogenesis of this type of disease is still unclear, and there is no effective treatment strategy. With the deepening of aging, neurodegenerative diseases pose a serious threat to the health of Chinese. As microorganisms living in the gastrointestinal tract, the intestinal flora has a mutually beneficial and symbiotic relationship with the human body and plays a vital role in life and health. The development of neurodegenerative diseases is accompanied by the development of intestinal flora and its related metabolites. This article reviews the mechanism of the interaction between the gut microbiota and its metabolites and neurodegenerative diseases, and discusses the potential value of the gut microbiota in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, in order to provide new research directions for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

Key words: Neurodegenerative diseases, Gut microbiota, Microbiota metabolites, Neuroinflammation
