Probiotics alleviate depressive behavior in chronic unpredictable mild stress rat models by remodeling intestinal flora

Conclusion By remodeling intestinal flora, probiotics can reduce the CUMS-induced depressive behavior of rats, increase the levels of norepinephrine and 5-hydroxytryptamine, and inhibit the expression of ACTH and corticosterone. Significantly, the effect of both paroxetine and probiotic on microorganisms is similar.
