| Study ID | ST000885 |
| Study Title | Gut Microbiota Modulate Brain Insulin Sensitivity and Neurobehavior |
| Study Type | Metabolite profiling of cecal contents and brains of mice under diet-induced obesity (DIO) with and without antibiotic treatments. |
| Study Summary | C57BL/6J mice were purchased from Jackson Laboratory and maintained on either a normal chow containing 22% of calories from fat, 23% from protein, and 55% from carbohydrates (Mouse diet 9F 5020; PharmaServ) or a high-fat diet (Open Source Diet, D12492; Research Diets) containing 60% of calories from fat, 20% from protein, and 20% from carbohydrates for 6 weeks. During the last 2 weeks, some of the HFD mice were treated with vancomycin or metronidazole (1 g/L in the drinking water). All mice were housed at 22°C on a 12 h light/dark cycle. All animal studies were approved by the IACUC of Joslin Diabetes Center (# 97-05) and Harvard Medical School (# 05131) and were in accordance with NIH guidelines. The metabolite profiling was conducted on plasma, hypothalamus and nucleus accumbens. |

| Project Title: | Gut Microbiota Modulate Brain Insulin Sensitivity and Neurobehavior |
| Project Type: | Metabolite profiling of cecal contents and brains of mice under diet-induced obesity (DIO) with and without antibiotic treatments. |
| Project Summary: | Obesity and diabetes in humans are associated with increased rates of anxiety and depression. To understand the role of the gut microbiome and brain insulin resistance in these disorders, we evaluated behaviors and insulin action in brain of mice with diet-induced obesity (DIO) with and without antibiotic treatment. We find that DIO mice have behaviors reflective of increased anxiety and depression. This is associated with decreased insulin signaling and increased inflammation in multiple brain regions. Treatment with oral metronidazole or vancomycin decreases inflammation, improves insulin signaling in the brain and reduces signs of anxiety and depression. These effects are transferable to germ-free mice by fecal transplant of gut microbiota and are associated with changes in the levels of tryptophan, GABA, BDNF, amino acids and multiple acylcarnitines in the brain. Thus, changes in gut microbiota can control brain insulin signaling and metabolite levels, and this leads to altered neurobehaviors. |
