Journal ArticleDOI
Racism as a Determinant of Health: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Yin Paradies,Jehonathan Ben,Nida Denson,Amanuel Elias,Naomi Priest,Alex L. Pieterse,Arpana Gupta,Margaret Kelaher,Gilbert C. Gee +8 more
TL;DR: Racism was associated with poorer mental health, including depression, anxiety, psychological stress and various other outcomes, and the association between racism and physical health was significantly stronger for Asian American and Latino(a) American participants compared with African American participants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gut/brain axis and the microbiota
TL;DR: Evidence suggests that multiple mechanisms, including endocrine and neurocrine pathways, may be involved in gut microbiota-to-brain signaling and that the brain can in turn alter microbial composition and behavior via the autonomic nervous system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Examining the Relationship between Multiple Internalized Oppressions and African American Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Questioning Persons' Self-Esteem and Psychological Distress.
Dawn M. Szymanski,Arpana Gupta +1 more
TL;DR: This paper examined the relation between multiple internalized oppressions and African American sexual minority persons' self-esteem and psychological distress and found that when examined together, internalized racism and internalized heterosexism (also known as internalized homophobia) were both significant negative predictors of selfesteem.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differences in gut microbial composition correlate with regional brain volumes in irritable bowel syndrome

Acosta,Ruth Ann Luna,Ruth Ann Luna,Kjersti Aagaard,Kjersti Aagaard,James Versalovic,James Versalovic,Tor C. Savidge,Tor C. Savidge,Elaine Y. Hsiao,Kirsten Tillisch,Emeran A. Mayer +19 more
TL;DR: The results confirm previous reports of gut microbiome-based IBS subgroups and identify for the first time brain structural alterations associated with these subgroups, and provide preliminary evidence for the involvement of specific microbes and their predicted metabolites in these correlations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gut Microbiome and Obesity: A Plausible Explanation for Obesity
TL;DR: The review addresses some well-known effects of the gut microbiota on energy harvesting and changes in metabolic machinery, on metabolic and immune interactions, and on possible changes in brain function and behavior.
