Title | Venlafaxine's effect on resilience to stress is associated with a shift in the balance between glucose and fatty acid utilization |
Overall design | The aim of this study was to explore whether venlafaxine would be able to normalize the depressive-like behaviour by modulating brain metabolism in the chronic mild stress (CMS) model of depression. Wistar rats were divided into the following 4 groups: (1) control group (non-stress with vehicle treatment), (2) CMS group (stress with vehicle treatment), (3) venlafaxine group (non-stress with venlafaxine treatment at the dose of 10 mg/kg), and (4) CMS + venlafaxine group (stress with venlafaxine treatment at the dose of 10 mg/kg). The CMS stress procedure lasted for 6 weeks, and drugs were administered via I.P. once per day during the last 3 weeks of the model building period. Metabolomic changes in the ventral hippocampus were investigated using targeted LC-MS/MS metabolomics (n = 8 in each group). |
