Electroacupuncture exerts neuroprotective effects and alters gut microbiota in a MPTP-induced mouse model of Parkinson’s disease
EA treatment attenuated PD progression, which was associated with the remodeling of gut microbiota structure and restoration of microbial network stability. The concomitant protection of dopaminergic function suggests a potential link mediated by the gut-brain axis.
