Effects of secretin gene knockout on the diversity, composition, and function of gut microbiota in adult male mice.

The gut microbiota plays a vital role in maintaining gastrointestinal homeostasis, however, whether it is influenced by gut hormones remains unknown. Secretin is a well-known gastrointestinal hormone produced by enteroendocrine S cells. This study utilized 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing to characterize the effect of SCT deficiency on the gut microbiota. Our results show that systemic SCT knockout alters the composition and abundance of the mouse gut microbiota but does not affect fecal short-chain fatty acids and lipids concentrations. At the genus level, the abundance of
