Description
This study aimed to investigate the effects of depression on transcriptome in ileum using a subchronic and mild social defeat stress (sCSDS) model. In addition to exhibiting social deficit and hyperphagia-like behavior, the sCSDS mice keep much more water in their body than control mice. In order to investigate the effect of social defeat stress on not only central nervous system but also function of gastrointestinal tract, the gene expression in ileum of stressed mice was compared with control mice.
