Title

Hippocampus and serum metabolomic studies to explore the regulation of Chaihu-Shu-Gan-San on metabolic network disturbances of rats exposed to chronic variable stress

Overall design

In this study, metabolomic studies of biochemical changes in the hippocampus and serum of chronic variable stress (CVS)-induced depression rats after treatment with Chaihu-Shu-Gan-San (CSGS) were performed using ultra performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-QTOF-MS). Rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 8 in each group): (1) control group, (2) CVS group, (3) CVS + CSGS group (stress plus CSGS intragastrically treated at the dose of 2.5 g/kg), and (4) CVS + fluoxetine group (stress plus fluoxetine treated at the dose of 3 mg/kg by oral gavage). The CUMS stress procedure lasted for 4 weeks, and drugs were administered during the model building period.
