Rifaximin-mediated gut microbiota regulation modulates the function of microglia and protects against CUMS-induced depression-like behaviors in adolescent rat
Abstract Background Chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) can not only lead to depression-like behavior but also change the composition of the gut microbiome.Regulating the gut microbiome can have an antidepressant effect, but the mechanism by which it improves depressive symptoms is not clear.Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are small molecular
