Title | rTMS ameliorates depressive-like behaviors and regulates the gut microbiome and medium- and long-chain fatty acids in mice exposed to chronic unpredictable mild stress |
Overall design | The aim of this study was to determine the influence of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on the composition of medium- and long-chain fatty acids in the plasma, prefrontal cortex, and hippocampus as well as the composition of gut microbiota in the chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) model of depression. C57BL/6 mice were divided into the following 4 groups: (1) control group (non-stress with sham rTMS treatment), (2) rTMS group (non-stress with rTMS treatment), (3) CUMS group (stress with sham rTMS treatment), and (4) CUMS + rTMS group (stress with rTMS treatment). Mice in the CUMS groups were stressed for 4 weeks, then mice received sham rTMS or real rTMS for 7 days. Plasma, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex samples of each group were used for fatty acid detection by GC-MS (n =8/group). |
