Psychophysiological Effects of <i>Lactobacillus plantarum</i> PS128 in Patients with Major Depressive Disorder: A Preliminary 8-Week Open Trial
Recent studies have suggested that gut–brain axis may be one of the mechanisms of major depression disorder (MDD). The current study aimed to investigate the effects of <i>Lactobacillus plantarum PS128</i> (PS128) on psychophysiology in patients with MDD. We recruited 11 patients with MD...
