Title

Quercetin modulates the liver metabolic profile in a chronic unpredictable mild stress rat model based on metabolomics technology

Overall design

The aim of this study was to explore the protective effect of quercetin against chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS)-induced metabolic changes and the corresponding mechanisms in the rat liver based on untargeted metabolomics technology. Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into the following 4 groups (n = 16 in each group): (1) control group (no stress, with vehicle treatment), (2) CUMS group (stress, with vehicle treatment), (3) quercetin group (no stress, with quercetin treatment), and (4) CUMS + quercetin group (stress, with quercetin treatment). The CUMS stress procedure lasted for 8 weeks, and quercetin (50 mg/kg) was administered via intragastric once per day during the model building period. Liver samples (n = 10/per group) were collected for untargeted metabolomics analysis.
