Title

Fecal metabolomics and network pharmacology reveal the correlations between constipation and depression

Overall design

In this study, fecal metabolomics and network pharmacology were applied to explore the relationships between constipation and depression. The chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) model of depression was constructed. Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into the following 2 groups (n = 6 per group): (1) control group and (2) CUMS group. The CUMS stress procedure lasted for 4 weeks. Fecal samples were used for NMR-based metabonomic analysis.
