A reliable high-throughput screening model for antidepressant
Overall design
In this study, the authors established the chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) model and reserpine model in mice and zebrafish, respectively. The effects of CUMS and reserpine were preliminarily analyzed through behavioral tests and brain pathology sections, and then compared metabolic differences through metabolomics. C57BL/6 mice were divided into the following 2 groups: (1) control group, and (2) reserpine group. Reserpine was injected intraperitoneally at a dose of 1 mg/kg for 3 days. Eight brain samples per group were used for metabonomic analysis.
