Title

Serum metabolomics reveals the intervention mechanism and compatible regularity of Chaihu Shu Gan San on chronic unpredictable mild stress-induced depression rat model

Overall design

The aim of this study was to provide a comprehensive study of the intervention mechanism and compatible regularity of Chaihu Shu Gan San (CSGS) and four compatibility groups (NJ, NC, NZ and NS) in a chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS)-induced depression model. Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into the following 7 groups (n = 6 in each group): (1) control group, (2) CUMS group, (3) CUMS + Chaihu Shu Gan San group (stressor plus Chaihu Shu Gan San treatment at the dose of 2.5 g/kg), (4) CUMS + NJ group (stressor plus NJ treatment at the dose of 2.5 g/kg), (5) CUMS + NC group (stressor plus NC treatment at the dose of 2.5 g/kg), (6) CUMS + NZ group (stressor plus NZ treatment at the dose of 2.5 g/kg), and (7) CUMS + NS group (stressor plus NS treatment at the dose of 2.5 g/kg). Drugs were administered via intragastric once per day for 40 days. After eight days of administration, rats in all groups except the control group were exposed to CUMS for 32 days. The metabolic profiles of serum samples were characterized by UPLC-Q-TOF/MS.
