The Role of Probiotics in Modulating Myocardial Infarction and Depression-like Symptoms: A Study on Sex-Specific Responses.

Background/objectives: This study explores the effects of two probiotics, R0052 and R0175, on myocardial infarction (MI) and associated depression-like behaviours, with a focus on sex differences.

Methods: MI was induced in adult male and female rats by occluding the left anterior coronary artery for 30 min, followed by 24 h of reperfusion. Probiotics were administered via drinking water for at least two weeks before ischemia.
