Title

The gut microbiome modulates the changes in liver metabolism and in inflammatory processes in the brain of chronic unpredictable mild stress rats

Overall design

The aim of this study was to determine how gut microbiome contributes to the process of depression and further influences the host. Chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) was used to establish a depression model. Fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) is applied to illustrate that depression can be transmitted via microbiota, and metabolism of liver analysis is applied to demonstrate further influence to the liver. Antibiotic-treated Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into the following 2 groups (n = 8 in each group): (1) control group (rats received fecal stools from control rats), (2) FMT group (rats received fecal stools from CUMS rats). On the 7th day after FMT, there was a significant difference in behavior in the tail suspension test between the control group and FMT group rats. Alterations of liver metabolites in FMT rats were determined by LC-MS.
