Title | Tryptophan-kynurenine metabolic characterization in the gut and brain of depressive-like rats induced by chronic restraint stress |
Overall design | The aim of this study was to investigate tryptophan-kynurenine metabolic characterization in the gut and brain of the chronic restraint stress (CRS) model of depression. Wistar rats were divided into the following 2 groups: (1) control group, and (2) CRS group. Rats in the CRS group were restrained in acrylic tubes for 6 h daily for four weeks. Then, cortex, hippocampus, striatum, hypothalamus, serum, colon, and cecum were collected for metabonomic analysis (n = 6/group) after behavioral tests. |
