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).
