Abstract
The gut microbiota has been linked to the pathogenesis of stress-related illnesses in a growing number of research. Chronic stress may alter behaviour, cognition, biochemistry, and gut flora. Gut bacteria may impact the brain and body by communicating with the host through the microbiota- gut-brain axis (mostly immunological, neuroendocrine, and neurological pathways). It is thought that taking probiotics might help with persistent stress-induced depression. Lactobacillus helveticus is a commonly used industrial thermophilic starter in manufacturing a variety of cheeses by fermenting milk. An increasing amount of scientific data suggests that strains of L. helveticus exhibit health-promoting qualities and their technical significance. In this review, we summarize the findings of several main literature publications on the capacity of L. helveticus strains to affect human health favourably.
Keywords: Anxiety, depression, early-life stress, hypotension, Lactobacillus helveticus, probiotics.
