Estradiol metabolism by gut microbiota in women’s depression pathogenesis: inspiration from nature by Wei Zhang, Jinghan Jia, Yuhang Yang, Dawei Ye, Yan Li, Di Li, Jinxi Wang

“…Integrating existing studies on the regulation of estradiol metabolism by microorganisms in nature and the relevance of its degradation products to depression, recent scientific explorations have further elucidated the key mechanisms by which gut microbiota catabolize estradiol through specific metabolic pathways. These emerging scientific findings suggest that the unique metabolic effects of gut microbiota on estradiol may be one of the central drivers in the onset and course of depression in non-menopausal women.…”
