The regulative effect and repercussion of probiotics and prebiotics on osteoporosis: involvement of brain-gut-bone axis

Yuan-Wei Zhang et al. Crit Rev Food Sci Nutr. 2023.

Abstract

Osteoporosis (OP) is a systemic disease characterized by decreased bone mass and degeneration of bone microstructure. In recent years, more and more researches have focused on the close relationship between gut microbiota (GM) and the occurrence and progression of OP, and the regulation of probiotics and prebiotics on bone metabolism has gradually become a research hotspot. Based on the influence of brain-gut-bone axis on bone metabolism, this review expounds the potential mechanisms of probiotics and prebiotics on OP from next perspectives: regulation of intestinal metabolites, regulation of intestinal epithelial barrier function, involvement of neuromodulation, involvement of immune regulation and involvement of endocrine regulation, so as to provide a novel and promising idea for the prevention and treatment of OP in the future.

Keywords: Probiotics; brain-gut-bone axis; gut microbiota; osteoporosis; prebiotics.
