A perspective for alzheimer disease from gut microbiota-associated NMR-based fecal metabolomics: a study with 5XFAD mice

Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a neurodegenerative, irreversible, and progressive brain disorder, is characterized by memory loss and cognitive dysfunction. In neurodegeneration, gut microbiota and their metabolites have an impact on behavior and brain function. This study aimed to identify fecal candidate discriminant metabolites in 5XFAD mice assosciated with AD as compared to an age-matched wild-type (WT) healthy mice groups at three different time points (3, 6, and 9 month) using Proton Nuclear M
