Title

Urinary metabolomics analysis of the anti-depressive effects of Hemerocallis citrina extracts in a simulated microgravity-induced rat model of depression

Overall design

The aim of this study was to identify the metabolic products and metabolic pathways of Hemerocallis citrina extracts antidepressant and elucidate its mechanism, which might provide a theoretical foundation for the application of H. citrina in the treatment of depression. The depression model of rats was induced by 14-d simulated microgravity (SMG) treatment. Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into the following 4 groups (n = 8 in each group): (1) control group, (2) SMG group (simulated microgravity), (3) SMG + Hemerocallis citrina extracts group (simulated microgravity plus Hemerocallis citrina extracts treatment at the dose of 8 g/kg), and (4) SMG + paroxetine group (simulated microgravity plus paroxetine treatment at the dose of 10 mg/kg). The SMG stress procedure lasted for 14 days, and drugs were administered via intragastric after stress until the 39th day. Six urine samples per group were used for metabonomic analysis.
