Aims: This study investigates the effects of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) from exercise-trained donors and aerobic exercise on oxidative stress in male C57 mice exposed to chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS).
Materials and Methods: Four groups of mice (n=8) were studied: INTACT (no intervention), CONTROL (CUMS with saline), N-E-FMT (CUMS with FMT from sedentary donors), and E-FMT (CUMS with FMT from exercise-trained donors). Total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in serum was measured to assess oxidative stress.
Findings: The CONTROL group showed a significant decrease in TAC compared to the INTACT group (P≤0.0001), confirming stress-induced oxidative damage. The E-FMT group exhibited a significant increase in TAC compared to the CONTROL group (P≤0.05), indicating enhanced antioxidant capacity, whereas N-E-FMT showed no significant improvement.
Conclusion: These findings suggest that FMT from exercise-conditioned donors, combined with aerobic training, effectively attenuates oxidative stress and highlight the importance of donor physical activity in FMT efficacy. This study underscores the therapeutic potential of exercise-conditioned FMT for stress-related oxidative damage and calls for further investigation into the underlying microbial mechanisms.
