Title

Simultaneous quantification of seven hippocampal neurotransmitters in depression mice by LC-MS/MS

Overall design

There is no method available to simultaneously detect GABA, Glu, Epi, NE, DA, 5-HT and 5-HIAA in mouse hippocampus. In this study, a rapid and sensitive LC-MS/MS method has been developed for simultaneously measuring seven neurotransmitters in mouse hippocampus. The mouse were divided into the following 2 groups: (1) control group (PBS intraperitoneally; n = 8), (2) model group (i.p. with 50 mg/kg methylprednisolone consecutively for 3 weeks; n = 12).
