a The workflow of sampling, sequencing and metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) binning of gut microbiota and serum neurotransmitters, all elements in this image were the graph of results of this article or created by in iPad. b Statistical differences in the clinical parameters within and between groups were evaluated with paired t-tests and t-tests, respectively. Significant p values between sample pairs are shown. Boxplot elements: center line, median; box limits, upper and lower quartiles; whiskers, 1.5x interquartile range; points, outliers. Each dot represents a data point of a participant, and data of the same participant at different time points are connected by straight lines. “Pro” and “Pla” represent the Probio-M8 group and Placebo group, respectively. “0d”, “1 M”, and “3 M” represent the baseline before the intervention, 1 and 3 months after intervention, respectively. UPDRS-III, MMSE, PDSS, HAMA, HAMD-17, PAC-QOL represent Unified PD Rating Scale-III, Mini-mental State Examination, Parkinson’s Disease Sleep Scale, Hamilton Anxiety Scale, Hamilton Depression Scale-17, Patient-Assessment of Constipation Quality of Life, respectively.
