Associations between disordered microbial metabolites and changes of neurotransmitters in depressed mice
Overall design
The aim of this study was to explore the relationships between microbial metabolites in feces and neurotransmitters in prefrontal cortex of chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) model of depressed mice. C57BL/6 mice were divided into the following 2 groups (n = 10 in each group): (1) control group, and (2) CUMS group. CUMS stress procedure lasted for 4 weeks. Targeted liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis was used to detect the microbial metabolites in feces and neurotransmitters in prefrontal cortex of mice.
