Abstract

Gut microbiota that lives in the human gastrointestinal tract impacts on the mental illness through the neurotransmitter-mediated pathway. It’s well known that the imbalance of neurotransmitter leads to mental problems. The association between gut microbiota and neurotransmitter needs to be explored in depth. In this paper, we aim at identifying the quality evidence of neurotransmitter modulation by gut microbiota. We use evidence-based medical analysis to characterize the relevant articles to five levels in terms of the strength and reliability of evidence. Thirty-four articles are identified to evaluate their evidence. Gut microbiota not only produces neurotransmitters directly but also modulates neurotransmitters level via metabolism pathways. Also, the growth of some gut microbiota can be counter-regulated by neurotransmitters. This paper provides a comprehensive picture of the association between gut microbiota and neurotransmitter, which give researchers an insight into neurotransmitter modulation by gut microbiota.
