Prebiotics Constipation Randomized TrialEvidence has accumulated in recent years that gut microbiota dysbiosis may be an early event in PD, driving neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration through the gut-brain axis (,).3Wang Wanhong (2026)The gut microbiota-short-chain fatty acid-inflammation axis in Parkinson's disease motor dysfunction: mechanisms and future of dietary interventions
Prebiotics Constipation Randomized Trial7 8 9 10 11 12 10 Studies have shown that fecal SCFA levels are significantly reduced in PD patients, while plasma acetate levels are abnormally elevated-a paradoxical finding possibly related to intestinal barrier disruption and systemic inflammation (,).3Wang Wanhong (2026)The gut microbiota-short-chain fatty acid-inflammation axis in Parkinson's disease motor dysfunction: mechanisms and future of dietary interventions
Prebiotics Constipation Randomized TrialFor example, butyrate, an important SCFA, exerts neuroprotective effects by inhibiting histone deacetylases (HDACs) and activating G protein-coupled receptors (e.g., GPR41/43), but its levels are markedly reduced in PD patients ().3Wang Wanhong (2026)The gut microbiota-short-chain fatty acid-inflammation axis in Parkinson's disease motor dysfunction: mechanisms and future of dietary interventions
Prebiotics Constipation Randomized TrialIts pathology involves progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and abnormal α-synuclein aggregation, leading to typical motor symptoms such as tremor, rigidity, and bradykinesia (,).3Wang Wanhong (2026)The gut microbiota-short-chain fatty acid-inflammation axis in Parkinson's disease motor dysfunction: mechanisms and future of dietary interventions
Prebiotics Constipation Randomized TrialAlthough microbiota-based interventions show potential therapeutic value in selected patients, current evidence is limited by substantial heterogeneity in study design, small sample sizes, inconsistent microbiome signatures, and limited long-term safety data.4Chen Y (2026)Gut microbiota and constipation: from causal evidence to therapeutic strategies-a state-of-the-art narrative review.
Prebiotics Constipation Randomized TrialHigh-quality evidence from large, well-designed RCTs is lacking for most interventions, and findings from low-certainty studies (e.g., conference abstracts, animal experiments, small uncontrolled trials) should be interpreted as preliminary and hypothesis-generating rather than conclusive.4Chen Y (2026)Gut microbiota and constipation: from causal evidence to therapeutic strategies-a state-of-the-art narrative review.
Prebiotics Constipation Randomized TrialConstipation is a common functional disorder of the gastrointestinal tract with a global prevalence of approximately 10-20%, which seriously affects patients' quality of life and imposes a heavy socioeconomic burden.4Chen Y (2026)Gut microbiota and constipation: from causal evidence to therapeutic strategies-a state-of-the-art narrative review.
Prebiotics Constipation Randomized TrialIn recent years, the role of the gut microbiota in the pathogenesis of constipation has received increasing attention, particularly in the context of the brain-gut axis theory.4Chen Y (2026)Gut microbiota and constipation: from causal evidence to therapeutic strategies-a state-of-the-art narrative review.
