Magnesium supplementation for anxiety and depression: a systematic review of clinical evidence and mechanistic insights

Magnesium is an essential cofactor in numerous enzymatic reactions regulating neuronal excitability, neurotransmission, and stress response. Deficiency has been linked to affective dysregulation through altered N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) signaling, impaired neuroplasticity, and activatio...

Phthalates and Bisphenols as Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals: Possible Determinants of Mood Disorders

Key mechanisms identified include Nrf2/HO-1-driven oxidative stress and neuronal apoptosis, disruption of calcium signalling and synaptic plasticity via CREB phosphorylation deficits, epigenetic suppression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor via promoter hypermethylation, interference with thyroid hormone bioavailabi...

The Gut–Brain Axis in Depression: A Systematic Review of Microbiota and Mental Health

Gut microbiota dysbiosis represents a biologically plausible mediator of depression pathophysiology, with a recurrent dysbiotic pattern, characterised by depletion of butyrate-producing taxa and enrichment of pro-inflammatory genera, showing emerging diagnostic and therapeutic potential.
