Hyperbaric oxygen improves depression-like behaviors in chronic stress model mice by remodeling gut microbiota and regulating host metabolism
Overall design
The aim of this study was to investigate whether hyperbaric oxygen treatment improves depression-like behaviors in chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) model mice. BALb/c mice were divided into the following 4 groups (n = 7 in each group): (1) control group (non-stress), (2) CUMS group (stress), (3) hyperbaric oxygen treatment (non-stress with hyperbaric oxygen treatment), and (4) CUMS + hyperbaric oxygen treatment group (stress with hyperbaric oxygen treatment). The CUMS stress procedure lasted for 5 weeks, and hyperbaric oxygen treatment remained for 21 days. The plasma samples were used for metabolomics analysis.
