Can one protein really help treat both depression and gut problems? A groundbreaking study from the University of Victoria has found that a natural protein called Reelin may do just that. Researchers discovered that people with depression often have lower levels of Reelin — both in the brain and in the gut. This matters because chronic stress can damage the gut lining, leading to what's known as "leaky gut" — a condition that lets harmful toxins into the bloodstream and may worsen depression symptoms. But here's the breakthrough: A single injection of Reelin in stressed mice helped repair their gut lining and reduce depression-like behavior.
This new research shines a light on the powerful connection between the gut and the brain — and how healing one could help heal the other. Could Reelin be the future of mental health treatment?
