Dietary Methionine Restriction Alleviates Cognitive Impairment in Alzheimer’s Disease Mice via Sex-Dependent Modulation on Gut Microbiota and Tryptophan Metabolism: A Multiomics Analysis

Plant-based foods with low methionine contents have gained increasing interest for their potential health benefits, including neuroprotective effects. Methionine restriction (MR) linked to a plant-based diet has been shown to mitigate neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) through mechanisms that involve the gut microbiota. In this study, a 16-week MR diet (0.17% methionine,
