Title

Hepatic metabolomics of the compatibility effect of Xiaoyaosan on CUMS-induced depression based on the TCM theory of "Treating Diseases via Regulating the Liver's Function"

Overall design

The aim of this study was to demonstrate the scientific connotations and compatibility effects of Xiaoyaosan based on the theory of "Treating Diseases via Regulating the Liver’s Function" by hepatic metabolomics. The chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) depression model was constructed. A 1H NMR-based hepatic metabolomics approach coupled with multivariate data analysis was performed. Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into the following 4 groups (n = 6 in each group): (1) control group, (2) CUMS group, (3) CUMS + Xiaoyaosan group (stressor plus Xiaoyaosan treatment at the dose of 46.3 g/kg/day), and (4) CUMS + venlafaxine group (stressor plus venlafaxine treatment at the dose of 35 mg/kg/day). The CUMS stress procedure lasted for 4 weeks, and drugs were administered via intragastric once per day during the model building period. Six liver samples per group were used for metabonomic analysis.
