Title

Alteration of the gut microbiome and correlated metabolism in a rat model of long-term depression

Overall design

The aim of this study was to investigate the composition and function of the gut microbiome in long-term depression using an 8-week chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) rat model. Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into the following 2 groups (n = 20 in each group): (1) control group, and (2) CUMS group. Animals were sacrificed after either 4 weeks or 8 weeks under CUMS to mimic long-term depression in humans. A UHPLC-MS-based metabolomic method was used to investigate the characteristics of fecal metabolism in depression rats.
