APCmin/+ mice (8-week-old) and wild-type C57BL/6 controls were divided into MOD (saline), BBR (100 mg/kg berberine), WMW (17 g/kg Wu Mei Wan), and CON (saline) groups. All mice received daily gavage for 10 weeks under a 60% high-fat diet. Serum samples were collected after euthanasia and subjecte...

Hua-Feng-Dan is a traditional Chinese medicine compound used to treat ischemic stroke, but little is known about its therapeutic mechanism. This study explored whether and how the mechanism involves readjustment of gut microbiota. Rats were subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion as a model...

Bacteria in the gut can modulate the availability and efficacy of therapeutic drugs. Interactions at this level have only recently started to being systematically mapped and the main underlying mechanism proposed is chemical transformation of drugs by microbes (biotransformation). Here, we invest...
