Mitigation PFHxA-induced neurotoxicity in Carassius auratus brain cells by selenium-enriched Bacillus subtilis via the BDNF/PI3K/AKT/GSK-3β pathway by Yu-ting Lu, Zheng-yao Guo, Lei Guo, Yu-hua He, Li-ming Liu, Xue Jiao, Yue-hong Li

“…Our previous studies have shown that selenium-rich Bacillus subtilis can not only alleviate the cause of brain damage by perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA) in Carassius auratus via the intestinal axis of the brain, but its metabolites can also alleviate PFHxA toxicity. This study further explores the potential mechanism through in vitro experiments. …”

Investigating the mechanistic role of oxidative stress in brain–gut axis disruption in rat model by Akeem Babatunde Sikiru, Stephen Acheneje Egena, Muhyideen Adio Kilani, Morufat Eniola Azeez, Maryam Nahari Adam, Ahmad Abdullahi

“…These findings suggest that endotoxin disrupts the gut’s antioxidant system and triggers inflammation, which could potentially lead to gut dysfunction. The findings also suggest a link between gut dysfunction and brain function, which implies a possible indirect effect of endotoxin on body reserve and reproduction via the brain–gut axis compromise. …”
