Title

Validation of the targeted metabolomic pathway in the hippocampus and comparative analysis with the prefrontal cortex of social defeat model mice

Overall design

Aiming to further investigate the mechanisms of MDD, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was employed to measure target metabolites in the hippocampus of chronic social defeat stress model mice. Mice were divided into the following 2 groups: (1) control group, (2) CSDS group. CSDS-treated mice with an social interaction (SI) ratio < 1 were considered stress-susceptible, while the remaining mice with SI ratio > 1 were considered stress-resilient. 10 samples per group were used for metabonomic analysis.
