Title

Metabolomic signature and mitochondrial dynamics outline the difference between vulnerability and resilience to chronic stress

Overall design

The aim of this study was to investigate whether a peculiar mitochondrial function and energetic metabolite profile contribute to dictate the difference between resilience or vulnerable phenotype in response to stress. Wistar rats were divided into the following 2 groups: (1) control group, and (2) chronic mild stress (CMS) group. The CMS stress procedure lasted for 2 weeks. On the basis of the result of the sucrose consumption test carried out following the first 2 weeks of stress, animals showing the anhedonic phenotype (CMS-vulnerable group) were separated by the animals that did not develop anhedonia despite CMS (CMS-resilient group). A targeted metabolomics was performed to investigate nucleotide, amino acid, biogenic amine, acylcarnitine, glycolysis and tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediate levels in ventral hippocampus of no stress, vulnerable, and resilient rats (n =3/per group).
