Title

A GC-MS urinary quantitative metabolomics analysis in depressed patients treated with TCM formula of Xiaoyaosan

Overall design

In this study, 25 depressed patients and 33 healthy volunteers were recruited. A GC-MS based metabolomics approach and the multivariate statistical methods were used for analyzing the urine metabolites of depressed patients before (depressed group) and after treatment (depressed group at 6-week treatment) compared with healthy controls (control group). Then the biomakers through metabolomics determination were carried out the quantitative analysis. 25 depressed patients took Xiaoyaosan decoction for 6 weeks.
