According to information reported by sciencedaily.com, a new scientific discovery is shedding light on how gut health and mental health are deeply connected. Researchers from the University of Victoria have identified a protein called Reelin that may help repair a weakened gut barrier while also easing symptoms associated with depression.
Chronic stress and major depressive disorder can damage the gut’s protective lining, allowing harmful bacteria and toxins to enter the bloodstream. This process, often called leaky gut, can trigger inflammation that worsens depressive symptoms. The researchers found that chronic stress lowers Reelin levels in the intestines, weakening the gut barrier.
In preclinical studies, a single injection of 3 µg of Reelin restored normal protein levels in the gut and improved gut lining renewal. Previous research has also shown reduced Reelin levels in the brains of people with major depressive disorder, and restoring the protein produced antidepressant-like effects in stressed animals.
Because gut cells regenerate every four to five days, Reelin appears essential for maintaining this process and protecting against inflammation-driven mood symptoms. While more research is needed before clinical use, the findings suggest Reelin-based therapies could one day offer a dual-action treatment targeting both gut health and depression.
