Title

[Cerebral metabolic changes in prefrontal cortex of depression-like rat model with long-term chronic forced swimming studied by ex vivo high resolution 1H NMR]

Overall design

The aim of this study was to evaluate the face and construct the validity of the depression-like rat model with long-term (4 weeks) chronic forced swimming (CFSS), the cerebral metabolic changes of prefrontal cortex (PFC) were studied by ex vivo high resolution 1H NMR as well as behavior tests. Rats were divided into the following 2 groups: (1) control group (n = 11), and (2) CFSS group (chronic forced swimming stress, n = 15). The CFSS stress procedure lasted for 4 weeks.
