Article Synopsis
- Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a new therapy, but there's no standard method for preparing fecal suspensions, which are crucial for its success.
- This study tested five different preparation methods on rat fecal samples to see how they affect the microbiota composition and diversity.
- Results showed that all methods reduced bacterial richness compared to fresh feces, with varying levels of structural similarity to fresh microbiota, indicating that the choice of preparation method can influence the outcomes of FMT.
Background: Insufficient sleep and circadian rhythm disruption may cause cancer, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and cognitive impairment. The underlying mechanisms need to be elucidated.
Method: Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was used to identify co-expressed modules.
