Title

Post-inflammatory behavioural despair in male mice is associated with reduced cortical glutamate-glutamine ratios, and circulating lipid and energy metabolites

Overall design

The aims of this study were to confirm that peripherally administered lipopolysaccharide (LPS) has central effects on brain inflammatory markers and increases depressive-like behaviour after 24 h in mice, and to determine what are the plasma and brain metabolite profiles that accompany the behavioural changes. CD-1 mice were divided into the following 2 groups: (1) control group, and (2) LPS group (a single intraperitoneal injection of LPS at the dose of 0.83 mg/kg). Plasma, prefrontal cortex and hippocampus tissues were collected for NMR-based metabolomics analysis. A total of 14-15 mice per group were used in the analyses of metabolomic data.
