Acupuncture treatment ameliorates gut barrier, gut inflammation and neuroinflammation in CRF mice after chemotherapy for BC. (A, B) The expression levels of tight junction proteins ZO-1, Occludin, and Claudin 5 in gut. (C, D) The expression levels of pro-inflammatory factors IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in the gut. (E, F) The expression levels of pro-inflammatory factors IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in the hippocampus. n = 3 mice in each group. **P < 0.01 versus control group; # P < 0.05 versus model group, ## P < 0.01 versus model group; △ P < 0.05 versus sham group, △△ P < 0.01 versus sham group.
