Bipolar disorder (BD) is a chronic mood disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of depression and (hypo-) mania. The gut microbiome is a potential avenue through which metabolic signaling, inflammatory pathways and environmental factors influence mood disorders via the gut-brain axis. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a translational tool for investigating the connections between the gut microbiome and the brain, and there is evidence that FMT from humans to mice can induce changes in affective behavior. In this study, we compared the behavior, gut-brain metabolomic profiles, and

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that is the leading cause of disability in young adults. The most severe clinical form of MS is the primary progressive (PP). We and others have shown that melatonin (MLT), improves the disease modulating the immune response in the Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE) monofasic mouse model of MS. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic use of MLT in the neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration and gut dysbiosis in the preclinical model of MS-PP, the progressive EAE (p-EAE).p-EAE was induced in 10-we
