Title

A 1H-NMR plasma metabonomic study of acute and chronic stress models of depression in rats

Overall design

To investigate and compare the metabonomic profiles of three stress-based models of depression, the effects of acute and chronic stress on the production of systemic endogenous metabolites were investigated. Endogenous metabolites excreted in plasma were analyzed using NMR in conjunction with multivariate and statistical techniques. Rats were divided into 2 groups (n = 10 in each group): (1) control group and (2) CUMS group (chronic unpredictable mild stress). The CUMS stress procedure lasted for 4 weeks.
