Title

Nicotinamide mononucleotide ameliorates the depression-like behaviors and is associated with attenuating the disruption of mitochondrial bioenergetics in depressed mice

Overall design

The aim of this study was to investigate the antidepressant mechanism of action of nicotinamide mononucleotide. C57/BL6 mice were divided into the following 3 groups (n = 8 in each group): (1) control group, (2) corticosterone group (corticosterone administered subcutaneously daily at the dose of 20 mg/kg for 6 weeks), and (3) corticosterone + nicotinamide mononucleotide group (corticosterone administration for 6 weeks, with nicotinamide mononucleotide treatment in the last 2 weeks, at the dose of 300 mg/kg, oral gavage). Six liver samples per group were used for metabonomic analysis.
