Title | Metabolomic identification of biochemical changes induced by fluoxetine and imipramine in a chronic mild stress mouse model of depression |
Overall design | Metabolomics was applied to a C57BL/6N mouse model of chronic unpredictable mild stress (CMS). Such mice were treated with two antidepressants from different categories: fluoxetine and imipramine. Metabolic profiling of the hippocampus was performed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis. Mice were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 7 in each group): (1) control group, (2) CUMS group, (3) CUMS + fluoxetine group (stress plus fluoxetine treatment at the dose of 20 mg/kg), and (4) CUMS + imipramine group (stress plus imipramine treatment at the dose of 20 mg/kg). The CUMS stress procedure lasted for 4 weeks, and drugs were administered by intraperitoneal injection once a day during the last 2 weeks of the model building period. |
