Title

Investigation on the antidepressant effect of sea buckthorn seed oil through the GC-MS-based metabolomics approach coupled with multivariate analysis

Overall design

With the objective of finding potential biomarkers of the therapeutic response of sea buckthorn seed oil in chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) rats, urine metabolomics based on gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) coupled with multivariate analysis was applied. Rats were randomly divided into 6 groups (n = 10 in each group): (1) control group, (2) CUMS group, (3) CUMS + high dose of the sea buckthorn seed oil group (stress plus sea buckthorn seed oil at the dose of 1.40 g/kg), (4) CUMS + middle dose of the sea buckthorn seed oil group (stress plus sea buckthorn seed oil at the dose of 0.7 g/kg), (5) CUMS + low dose of the sea buckthorn seed oil group (stress plus sea buckthorn seed oil at the dose of 0.35 g/kg), and (6) CUMS + venlafaxine group (stress plus venlafaxine hydrochloride 50 mg/kg). Six samples per group were used for metabonomic analysis. The CUMS stress procedure lasted for 4 weeks, and drugs were administered via gastric intubation during the model building period.
