Title

Antidepressant-like effects of Schisandrin on lipopolysaccharide-induced mice: Gut microbiota, short chain fatty acid and TLR4/NF-kB signaling pathway

Overall design

The aim of this study was to research the potential connection between gut microbial and anti-inflammatory effects of Schisandrin on a depressive mouse model induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). C57BL/6 mice were divided into the following 3 groups (n = 12 in each group): (1) control group, (2) LPS group, and (3) LPS + Schisandrin group. Mice were treated with vehicle or Schisandrin (30 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) for 14 days. In the 14th day, LPS (0.83 mg/kg) or saline were intraperitoneally injected 30 min after drug administration. The concentrations of short-chain fatty acids in mice fecal samples were analyzed (n = 6/per group).
