Title

Ketamine’s effects on the glutamatergic and GABAergic systems: a proteomics and metabolomics study in mice

Overall design

The authors carried out a time-dependent targeted mass spectrometry-based metabolomics profiling analysis combined with a quantitative based on in vivo 15N metabolic labeling proteome comparison of ketamine- and vehicle-treated mice. The metabolomics and proteomics datasets were used to further elucidate ketamine’s mode of action on the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic and glutamatergic systems. The floating time was scored 2 h, 14 h, 24 h, and 72 h after ketamine treatment. Hippocampal glutamatergic and GABAergic system-related metabolites were measured after a single injection of a low dose of ketamine (3 mg/kg, n = 5 per group and time point).
