Title

A unique insight for Xiaoyao San exerts antidepressant effects by modulating hippocampal glucose catabolism using stable isotope-resolved metabolomics

Overall design

In this study, stable isotope-resolved metabolomics was used to explore the pathway of Xiaoyao San to modulate glucose catabolism in the chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) model of depression. Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into the following 4 groups (n = 12 in each group): (1) control group, (2) CUMS group, (3) CUMS + venlafaxine group (stressor plus venlafaxine treatment at the dose of 35 mg/kg), and (4) CUMS + Xiaoyao San group (stressor plus Xiaoyao San treatment at the dose of 21.2 g/kg). The CUMS stress procedure lasted for 4 weeks, and drugs were administered via intragastric once per day during the model building period. Seven hippocampal samples per group were used for stable isotope-resolved metabolomic analysis.
