Title | Metabonomic analysis of urine from chronic unpredictable mild stress rats using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry |
Overall design | The aim of this study was to investigate the metabolic profiling of urine samples from chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) rats to find potential disease biomarkers and research pathology of depression. Metabolome in urine was analyzed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) in conjunction with multivariate statistical techniques. Rats were divided into the following two groups (n = 8 in each group): (1) control group and (2) CUMS group. Six samples per group were used for metabonomic analysis. The CUMS stress procedure lasted for 3 weeks. |
