Title

Metabonomics approach to understanding acute and chronic stress in rat models

Overall design

In this study, a comprehensive analysis of urinary metabolites from SD rats exposed to acute and chronic stimuli was performed to investigate the stress induced biochemical responses and metabolic consequences. Rats were randomly divided into two groups (n= 6 in each group): (1) CUMS group, (2) control group. The CUMS stress procedure lasted for 4 weeks. A twenty-four hour urine sample from each animal was collected at day 0, 9, and 27. Metabolites excreted in urine were analyzed using GC-MS in conjunction with multivariate and univariate statistical techniques.
