Gut dysbiosis causes negative epigenetic modifications via mechanisms like histone acetylation, DNA methylation and non-coding RNA mediated gene inhibition.
The diet and dietary metabolites like kynurenine, tryptophan, and propionic acid also greatly influence the microbiome composition and the physiological activities.
Science Direct point out that stress is one of the important risk factors for depression that results from chronic or early life stress, in the range of 37% to 48% showing a strong relation between family history and depression.
