Gene-environment-gut interactions in Huntington's disease mice are associated with environmental modulation of the gut microbiome

Abstract excerpt

Gut dysbiosis in Huntington's disease (HD) has recently been reported using microbiome profiling in R6/1 HD mice and replicated in clinical HD. In HD mice, environmental enrichment (EE) and exercise (EX) were shown to have therapeutic impacts on the brain and associated symptoms. We hypothesize that these housing interventions modulate the gut microbiome, configuring one of the mechanisms that mediate their...
