Title

Serum metabolic profiling reveals the antidepressive effects of the total iridoids of Valeriana jatamansi Jones on chronic unpredictable mild stress mice

Overall design

In this study, an integrated 1H NMR-based metabolomic approach was applied to screen and identify biomarkers associated with chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) mice and understand the antidepressive influences of iridoid-rich fraction of V. jatamansi (IRFV) in a depressive mouse model. Kunming mice were divided into the following 5 groups (n = 7 in each group): (1) control group, (2) CUMS group, (3) CUMS + fluoxetine group (stressor plus fluoxetine treatment at the dose of 2.5 mg/kg), (4) CUMS + middle dose of iridoid-rich fraction of V. jatamansi group (stressor plus iridoid-rich fraction of V. jatamansi treatment at the dose of 11.47 mg/kg), and (5) CUMS + high dose of iridoid-rich fraction of V. jatamansi group (stressor plus iridoid-rich fraction of V. jatamansi treatment at the dose of 22.94 mg/kg). The CUMS stress procedure lasted for 4 weeks, and drugs were administered via intragastric once per day during the model building period.
