Title

Dl-3-n-butylphthalide attenuates mouse behavioral deficits to chronic social defeat stress by regulating energy metabolism via AKT/CREB signaling pathway

Overall design

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Dl-3-n-butylphthalide (NBP) in a chronic social defeat stress (CSDS) model of depression and its underlying molecular mechanisms. C57BL/6 J mice were divided into the following 3 groups: (1) control group (vehicle treatment, n = 12), (2) CSDS group (stressor plus vehicle treatment, n = 15), and (3) CSDS + Dl-3-n-butylphthalide group (stressor plus Dl-3-n-butylphthalide treatment at the dose of 60 mg/kg, n = 13). The CSDS stress procedure lasted for 10 days, and drugs were administered via intragastric once per day during the model building period. The targeted metabolomics approach, based on LC-MS, was used to obtain total metabolic data for the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex (n = 5 per group).
