Brief Summary: A randomized triple-blind placebo-controlled study on the effect of colon-delivered short-chain fatty acids SCFAs on neural responses to stress and neuroepigenetics
Detailed Description: The goal of this interventional study is to study the underlying mechanism of the attenuating effect of colon-delivered SCFAs on the cortisol response to stress Pre-clinical studies suggest that the histone-deacetylase HDAC-inhibiting properties of SCFAs are the main mechanism underlying SCFA-induced changes in stress cognition and behavior

Primary objective to test the effect of colon-delivered SCFA intervention versus placebo on HDAC expression in the brain and neural responses to stress

Secondary objective to determine the effects of colon-delivered SCFA administration versus placebo on inflammatory and autonomic responses to stress and to determine the mediating andor moderating factors that potentially underlie SCFA-induced changes to stress responses HDAC expression in stress-responsive regions serum SCFA levels

To this end 32 participants will be asked to undergo a pre- and post-intervention visit separated by one week intervention with either colon-delivered SCFAs or placebo 16 per group During the study visits participants undergo simultaneous PET-MR imaging with 11CMartinostat They undergo the Montreal Imaging Stress Test MIST and the Maastricht Acute Stress Test MAST at each visit
