Altered gut fungal microbiota and associated mycotoxins in juvenile rat offspring induced by maternal immune activation with Poly I:C
Our findings suggest that MIA-induced behavioral deficits in offspring are accompanied by sex-specific disruptions in gut fungal composition and mycotoxin metabolism, which highlights the need for further intervention studies to establish causality and elucidate the underlying mechanisms of gut fungi and mycotoxins in NDDs.
