Depression of poststroke depression (PSD) is the most common neuropsychiatric complication after stroke. Patients with PSD had higher mortality, more cognitive disorder, lower quality of life, and higher suicidal tendency. The pathogenesis of PSD mainly involves neurotransmitter inflammatory factors, HPA and BDNF. Enteral dysfunction and intestinal flora disorders caused by stroke can participate in the pathogenesis of PSD through various ways, such as immune, endocrine, and nervous system. In this experiment, we used exercise training as an intervention means to explore the curative effect and possible mechanism by observing the changes of behavior, inflammatory factors, and intestinal flora in rats. The results show that the mechanism of exercise training to improve the depressive behavior of rats may be related to inhibiting the expression of proinflammatory factors and increasing the number of lactic acid bacteria in the intestine.Copyright © 2021 Jiaen Yang et al.
