Title

The effects of chronic unpredicted mild stress on maternal negative emotions and gut microbiota and metabolites in pregnant rats

Overall design

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of maternal experience of chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) during pregnancy on the intestinal flora and its metabolites. Female Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into the following 2 groups (n = 8 in each group): (1) control group, and (2) CUMS group. The CUMS stress procedure lasted for 3 weeks. On the third day of the CUMS cycle, cage mating was carried out.
