Chronic unpredictable mild stress induced depression-like behaviours and glutamate-glutamine cycling dysfunctions in both blood and brain of mice

Context: Currently, there is no cure or early preclinical diagnostic assay available for depression. Recently, depression has been observed in association with metabolic abnormalities of the glutamate (Glu)–glutamine (Gln) cycling, which is regulated by Glu, Gln and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) amino...
