Microbiome Profiling Reveals Gut Dysbiosis in the Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 5 Knockout Mouse Model of Schizophrenia
29 Oct 2020
Abstract excerpt
Schizophrenia (SZ) is a psychiatric disorder that constitutes one of the top 10 global causes of disability. More recently a potential pathogenic role for the gut microbial community (microbiota) has been highlighted. However, no animal model of SZ has previously recapitulated the gut dysbiosis observed clinically. The metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGlu5) knockout mice provide a preclinical model of SZ with...
