Inspiring start in Berlin at the #ImmunoChick kick-off—bringing together top minds in immunology, bacteriology & virology from Germany & the UK.
Great discussions, fresh ideas, and a shared vision for the next 4 years.
اليوم بسوي لكم ثريدي مهم جدًا 🧬
خصوصًا للي يحبون الأبحاث والشغل المعملي
🔬 أساس أي تجربة: الخلايا تكون عايشة
لأن الخلايا الميتة تعطي نتائج خاطئة.
طيب… كيف نعرف إذا الخلايا حية أو لا؟ 👀

This post does not suggest that vitamin deficiencies are causal to all cases of depression, or even that they play a primary role in some cases of depression. This post is meant to convey ways in which vitamin deficiencies can contribute to the etiology of depression [this may be relevant in more cases of depression than is currently recognized (not only with these specific vitamins)]. Before taking any supplements or attempting any adjunct therapies for depression, seek the advice of your primary healthcare provider. This is not medical advice.

Deficiencies of Vitamin D, Vitamin B12 and B6, and Folate/Folic Acid and their Involvement in Depression
Vitamin B6, B12, and Folate are components of homocysteine metabolism. All three are involved in the synthesis of serotonin. The three of these vitamins also share a relationship with Vitamin D. Vitamin D regulates the expression of TRPH2 (Tryptophan hydroxylase 2), the rate-limiting enzyme responsible for serotonin synthesis in the brain. Vitamin D’s roles for mood regulation have similar, or nearly identical, outcomes as the homocysteine metabolism.

Acute exercise doesn’t just stress muscles; it reshapes the gut. 🧬🏃♂️
Even one workout transiently rewires gut microbial activity, hinting at a mechanistic link between exercise, microbiota, and host performance.
A review in Experimental Physiology shows a single bout of exercise can:
✳️Modulate specific taxa (e.g., Veillonella, butyrate producers)
✳️Alter metabolic pathways (lactate → SCFAs, amino acid & lipid metabolism)
✳️Shift faecal metabolites, with changes scaling to exercise duration/intensity.
