doi: 10.1101/2025.03.25.25324621
Figure Lengend Snippet: Increasing acetate intake regulated gut-brain serotonin metabolism. a Mice experimental design. b Body weight changes before behavioral experiments (n = 10 per group). c The effect size of percent PPI impairments at 75, 80 and 85 dB. The percent scores of distances ( d ) and time ( e ) spent in target quadrant of MWM test. f-q Western blot results of proteins expression in colon ( f ) and PFC ( g ). The quantification of Tph1 ( h ), Ddc ( i ), Maoa ( j ), Sert ( k ), Ffar3 ( l ) and Ffar2 ( m ) in the colon as well as Tph2 ( n ), Ddc ( o ), Maoa ( p ) and Sert ( q ) in the PFC were performed. Data are represented as mean ± SEM. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001, ns depicts no significant difference.
