Serum metabolomics reveals the intervention mechanism and compatible regularity of Chaihu Shu Gan San on chronic unpredictable mild stress-induced depression rat model

Objectives To provide a comprehensive study of the intervention mechanism and compatible regularity of Chaihu Shu Gan San (CSGS) in a chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS)-induced depression model. Methods Ethological study and ELISA assay were applied to measure the phenotypes of depression after CUMS stimulate and assess the antidepressant activity of fluoxetine, CSGS and its compatibilities. The serum metabolic profile changes were...
