Title | Behavioral and metabolic effects of S-adenosylmethionine and imipramine in the Flinders Sensitive Line rat model of depression |
Overall design | The present study investigated if S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) supplementation may correct liver SAM and behavioral abnormalities in Flinders Sensitive Line (FSL) rats, an animal model of depression, compared with the control rats, Flinders Resistant Line (FRL) rats. C1 metabolites in plasma (betaine, choline, dimethylglycine, homocysteine, cystathionine) and liver extracts were measured using UPLC-MS/MS. Ten samples in each group were used for UPLC-MS/MS. |
