Abstract. Considering
that intestinal microbiota a key factor in regulating the brain-intestinal axis
and is also involved in the development and proper functioning of the
hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, numerous studies have turned their attention
to the composition of digestive microflora in most of the neuropschiatric
disorders. Same goes for the metabolic deficits, which could be correlated with
some microbiome dysfucntions, as well as with most of
the existent neuropschiatric deficiences.
In this context, considering also our group recent experience in this area of
research, we are describing here some methodological aspects regarding the
interactions between microflora and neuropsychiatric/metabolic disorders.
Keywords:
methodology, microflora,
