Probiotic Effects on Gut Microbiota in UCMS-Induced Mice
This study explores how probiotic supplementation affects gut microbiota and behavior in mice exposed to Unpredictable Chronic Mild Stress (UCMS), a widely used model for studying chronic stress-related conditions like anxiety and depression. By examining shifts in gut microbial composition, gene expression, and behavioral patterns, the research aims to uncover potential links between probiotics and stress resilience. The findings could provide valuable insights into the gut-brain connection and support the development of probiotic-based strategies for managing stress-related disorders.
