Overall design | The aim of this study was to observe the characteristics of gut microbiota, lipid metabolism and neurotransmitters in gut-liver-brain axis in the chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) mice model of depression. C57BL/6 mice were divided into the following 2 groups (n = 10 in each group): (1) control group, and (2) CUMS group. The CUMS stress procedure lasted for 4 weeks. The lipidomics analyses of fecal and liver samples were performed using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The neurotransmitters in GABAergic and Catecholaminergic pathways were detected in the hippocampus of mice. |
