Title

Urinary metabonomic study on biochemical changes in chronic unpredictable mild stress model of depression

Overall design

An animal model of depression was produced by chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS). Metabolic profiling of the urine was performed by using ultra performance liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS). Rats were divided into 2 groups (n = 8 in each group): (1) control group, (2) CUMS group. The CUMS stress procedure lasted for 11 weeks.
