Title

Consumption of butylated starch alleviates the chronic restraint stress-induced neurobehavioral and gut barrier deficits through reshaping the gut microbiota

Overall design

The aim of this study was to investigate the neurobehavioral, immunological, and microbial effects of the short-chain fatty acid (SCFA)-acylated starches in the chronic restraint stress (CRS) model of depression. Mice were divided into the following 5 groups: (1) control group (no stress with normal starch diet), (2) CRS group (CRS stress with normal starch diet), (3) CRS + acylated starch group (CRS stress plus acylated starch diet), (4) CRS + butylated starch group (CRS stress plus butylated starch diet), and (5) CRS + isobutyrylated starch group (CRS stress plus isobutyrylated starch diet). The CRS stress procedure lasted for 2 weeks. Short-chain fatty acid levels in the fecal samples were determined by GC-MS.
