Proteomics analysis of the gut–brain axis in a gut microbiota-dysbiosis model of depression

Abstract Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a serious mental illness. Increasing evidence from both animal and human studies suggested that the gut microbiota might be involved in the onset of depression via the gut–brain axis. However, the mechanism in depression remains unclear. To explore the pro...
