Title

Compound Gaoziban tablet alleviates depression via toll-like receptor 4/myeloid differentiation factor 88/nuclear factor-kappa B pathway

Overall design

The aim of this study was to explore the underlying mechanism of antidepressant effect of Compound Gaoziban tablet in the chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) model of depression. Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into the following 5 groups (n = 12 in each group): (1) control group, (2) CUMS group, (3) CUMS + middle dose of Compound Gaoziban tablet group (stressor plus Compound Gaoziban tablet treatment at the dose of 0.8 g/kg), (4) CUMS + high dose of Compound Gaoziban tablet group (stressor plus Compound Gaoziban tablet treatment at the dose of 1.6 g/kg), and (5) CUMS + fluoxetine group (stressor plus fluoxetine treatment at the dose of 3.69 mg/kg). The CUMS stress procedure lasted for 6 weeks, and drugs were administered during the last 2 weeks of the model building period. Neurotransmitters of hippocampus were detected by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.
