Modulation of intestinal microbiota and metabolites mediates the improvement of cyclophosphamide-induced immunodeficiency in mice by Monopterus albus slime protein

Key Points

• Improvement of immunodeficiency is linked to changes in intestinal microbiota and metabolites.
• Mice treated with Monopterus albus slime protein showed significant recovery from cyclophosphamide-induced immunodeficiency.
• The analysis highlights the potential of using natural products to enhance immune function.
• Further research is needed to clarify the mechanisms behind the effects of slime protein on microbiota.
