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. |
