Abstract in brief

  • The study found that rosemary extract (RE) can help reduce depression-like behaviors in mice by decreasing inflammation in the brain and blood, and by correcting imbalances in gut bacteria.
  • RE improved gut microbiota by increasing beneficial bacteria like Lactobacillus and Firmicutes and decreasing harmful bacteria such as Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria.
  • The antidepressant effects are linked to RE's ability to suppress inflammatory proteins (like IL1, TNF, and NF-κB) and boost protective factors like BDNF, showing that RE works through both anti-inflammatory actions and microbiome balance.]
