Title

A 1H-NMR-based metabonomic study on the anti-depressive effect of the total alkaloid of Corydalis Rhizoma

Overall design

In this study, the anti-depressive effect of the total alkaloid of YuanHu (YHTA) was investigated in a chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) rat model using 1H-NMR-based metabonomics. Plasma metabolic profiles were analyzed and multivariate data analysis was applied to discover the metabolic biomarkers in CUMS rats. Rats were divided into 6 groups (n = 8 in each group): (1) control group, (2) CUMS group, (3) CUMS + high dose of YHTA group (stress plus YHTA treatment at the dose of 12 mg/kg), (4) CUMS + middle dose of YHTA group (stress plus YHTA treatment at the dose of 6 mg/kg), (5) CUMS + low dose of YHTA group (stress plus YHTA treatment at the dose of 3 mg/kg), and (6) CUMS + venlafaxine group (stress plus venlafaxine treatment at the dose of 8 mg/kg). The CUMS stress procedure lasted for 3 weeks, and drugs were intragastrically administered during the model building period.
