Title | Imbalance in amino acid and purine metabolisms at the hypothalamus in inflammation-associated depression by GC-MS |
Overall design | In this study, taking advantage of the well-established lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced depression mouse model, metabolic changes were measured in the hypothalamus using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Mice were divided into the following 2 groups (n = 10 in each group): (1) control group, (2) LPS group (0.83mg/kg lipopolysaccharide i.p.). Depressive-like behaviors were assessed at 24 h post-LPS i.p. administration. As soon as the behavioral tests were finished, the mice were sacrificed and the whole brain was removed. |
