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. |
