Chronic Stress Alters Gut Microbiome Composition by Reducing the Production of a Protein Called Mucin 13
A series of experiments published in Brain Behavior and Immunity revealed that exposing mice to chronic stress reduced the levels of a protein called mucin 13. Deleting the gene that encodes mucin 13 was sufficient to create the changes in the chronic stress and gut microbiome seen after exposure to chronic stress and to produce […]
