Summary on the changes of physiological indices in donor voles (solid arrow) and recipient voles (dashed arrow). Upward/down arrow shows an increase/decrease in hormone levels or gene expression under SD or F-SD conditions as compared to LD or F-LD treatment. “-” indicates no change. MT, melatonin; GnRH, gonadotropin-releasing hormone; FSH, follicle-stimulating hormone; LH, luteinizing hormone; T, testosterone; Dio2, iodothyronine deiodinase 2; Dio3, iodothyronine deiodinase 3; Dio2/Dio3, the ratio of Dio2 to Dio3 expression; Kiss-1, Kisspeptin-1; GPR54, G-protein-coupled receptor 54; GnRH, gene which encode gonadotropin-releasing hormone; Rfrp-3, RFamide-related peptide 3; Stra8, stimulated by retinoic acid 8. LD, long-day photoperiod (16L: 8D); SD, short-day photoperiod (8L: 16D); F-LD, recipients with transplantation of gut microbiota from LD donor voles; F-SD, recipients with transplantation of gut microbiota from SD donor voles
