Title

Links between gut dysbiosis and neurotransmitter disturbance in chronic restraint stress-induced depressive behaviours: the role of inflammation

Overall design

The aim of this study was to investigate the neuroinfammatory reactions in chronic restraint stress (CRS)-induced depression and to delineate the potential links between the gut microbiota and neurotransmitter metabolism. C57BL/6 J mice were divided into the following 3 groups: (1) control group, (2) CRS group, and (3) CRS + dexamethasone group (CRS plus dexamethasone treatment at the dose of 1 mg/kg). The CRS stress procedure lasted for 5 weeks, and dexamethasone was intraperitoneally injected once per day during the model building period. Neurotransmitters levels in serum were detected using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (n = 5-8 per group).
