Title

Ergothioneine, a metabolite of the gut bacterium Lactobacillus reuteri, protects against stress-induced sleep disturbances

Overall design

In this study, the authors analyzed changes in gut microbiota and their sulfur metabolites in the feces of a depression rat model using the modified 14-day social defeat stress (SDS) paradigm. Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into the following 2 groups: (1) control group, and (2) SDS group. The SDS stress procedure lasted for 2 weeks. Fecal and blood samples were used for sulfur metabolomics analysis. Six samples per group were used for metabonomic analysis.
