Title

Repeated fluoxetine treatment induces transient and long-term astrocytic plasticity in the medial prefrontal cortex of normal adult rats

Overall design

The aim of this study was to understand whether repeated fluoxetine treatment induces astrocytic plasticity. Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into the following 2 groups (n = 13 in each group): (1) control group, and (2) fluoxetine group (fluoxetine treatment at the dose of 10 mg/kg, i.p. for 15 days). Metabolic alterations in the medial prefrontal cortex were measured with in vivo 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy at day 1 (d1) and day 20 (d20), respectively, after the last fluoxetine injection. Metabolite quantification was reported relative to total creatine as the reference peak.
