Therapeutic influence of some dietary articles on gut microbiota in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis () - A review.

BACKGROUND

is a chronic immune‑inflammatory systemic disorder caused by the formation of and its association with at (joints) and can be simulated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Published evidences show that treatment indicated in is effective in RA. Increased inflammatory status in RA is suggestive of gut dysbiosis involving gut microbiota (GM).

AIM

The aim of the present study was to analyze the influence of diet on GM of RA patients based on (dietary advice) mentioned for .

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Laghutrayis such as Bhavaprakasha Samhita, Madhava Nidana and Sharangadhara Samhita, Bhaishajya Ratnavali and Nighantus (Sanskrit glossary) such as Raja Nighantu, Bhavaprakasha Nighantu and Yogaratnakara, Ashtanga Hridaya also different databases were reviewed for of .

It was found that influences on the GM by lowering or inhibiting inflammatory markers such as interleukin‑6 (IL‑6), 17 and leukotrines through Bowman‑Birk inhibitors and polyphenolic compounds. Among them, is already a proven probiotic. augments B and T lymphocytes, IL‑1 and IL‑2, strengthening the immune system.

CONCLUSION

It was concluded that mentioned for have a direct link with GM of RA patients. Even though the pharmacological actions have been clinically proven/practised, this review creates evidence for its scientific basis.
