Title

High fructose corn syrup-moderate fat diet potentiates anxio-depressive behavior and alters ventral striatal neuronal signaling

Overall design

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of long-term consumption of a HFCS-Moderate Fat diet (HFCS-MFD) on behavior, neuronal signal transduction, gut microbiota, and serum metabolomic profile in mice to better understand how its consumption and resulting obesity and metabolic alterations relate to behavioral dysfunction. C57Bl/6J mice were divided into the following 2 groups: (1) control group, and (2) HFCS-MFD group. Mice were assigned a control diet or a HFCS-MFD and maintained on each respective diet for 16 weeks. Serum tryptophan metabolites were measured by LC-MS (n = 6/group).
