Title

Effects of chronic cannabidiol treatment in the rat chronic unpredictable mild stress model of depression

Overall design

The aim of this study was to reveal the effect of a long-term cannabidiol treatment in the chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) model of depression. Wistar rats were divided into the following 3 groups (n = 12 in each group): (1) control group, (2) CUMS group, and (3) CUMS + cannabidiol group (stressor plus cannabidiol treatment at the dose of 10 mg/kg). The CUMS stress procedure lasted for 4 weeks, and drugs were administered via daily i.p. during the model building period. Hair corticosterone was assayed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.
