Title

Metabolomics analysis of the antidepressant prescription Danzhi Xiaoyao Powder in a rat model of Chronic Unpredictable Mild Stress (CUMS)

Overall design

The aim of this study was to the mechanism of the antidepressant effect of Danzhi Xiaoyao Powder on a rat model of chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS). Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into the following 3 groups: (1) control group, (2) CUMS group, and (3) CUMS + Danzhi Xiaoyao Powder group (stressor plus Danzhi Xiaoyao Powder treatment at the dose of 25 mg/kg). The CUMS stress procedure lasted for 4 weeks, and drugs were administered via intragastric once per day for 14 days after stress. Ten plasma samples per group were used for metabonomic analysis.
