Title

Hippocampal metabolic alteration in rat exhibited susceptibility to prenatal stress

Overall design

The aim of this study was to explore the potential molecular markers and pathways that link the metabolic to the pathogenesis of depression. The authors monitored changes in hippocampus metabolites during the development of depressive-like behaviors in rats exposed to prenatal stress via UHPLC-Q-TOF/MS approach. Female pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into the following 2 groups: (1) control group, and (2) restraint stress group (restraint stress during pregnant). One-month old postnatal male rats (control offspring group and restraint stress offspring group, n = 8 in each group) were used for behavioral tests and metabolomics analysis.
