“…This was a key concept because probiotic bacteria secrete enzymes that are not produced by human intestinal cells. These enzymes can ferment non-digestible poly-carbohydrates (mainly dietary fiber) to produce energy for the bacteria as well as other factors such as short chain fatty acids (SCFA) and lactic acid which benefits the intestinal epithelium [36]. Metchnikoff theorized that the production of lactic acid would prevent the toxic effects of putrefying microbes.…”

Em nenhum dos estudos epidemiológicos sobre padrão de prescrição de medicamentos de ação central 5,[10][11][12][13] foram encontradas menções a antidepressivos. A diferença entre os percentuais de prescrição pode estar relacionada às indicações mais específicas para uso de antidepressivos, anticonvulsivantes e antipsicóticos em detrimento das indicações para o uso de ansiolíticos e analgésicos opioides em odontologia.…”

Os anticonvulsivantes e antidepressivos tricíclicos são indicados especificamente para tratamento de dores crônicas temporomandibulares.…”
