Title | Involvement of the microbiota-gut-brain axis in chronic restraint stress: disturbances of the kynurenine metabolic pathway in both the gut and brain |
Overall design | In this study, a murine model of chronic restraint stress (CRS) was established to investigate the metabolic signaling of tryptophan neurotransmission at the intestinal and central levels in depression. C57BL/6 J mice were divided into the following 4 groups: (1) control group, (2) CRS group, (3) 1-methyl-tryptophan group (1-methyl-tryptophan treatment at the dose of 15 mg/kg), and (4) CRS + 1-methyl-tryptophan group (CRS plus 1-methyl-tryptophan treatment at the dose of 15 mg/kg). The CRS stress procedure lasted for 2 weeks, and 1-methyl-tryptophan was administered via intraperitoneally for 3 weeks after stress. Hippocampus samples were used to measure neurotransmitter levels using LC-MS (n = 10 per group). |
