Figures & data

Figure 1 Behavioral observation of the cynomolgus monkeys. (A) Cynomolgus monkeys in a realistic social context. (B) Slumped or collapsed posture of a NOD macaque (red arrow). (C) A CON macaque. (D) The significant differential behavioral results between NOD macaques (n=10) and CON macaques (n=12).

Note: *Behaviors of greater duration in healthy controls relative to NOD macaques.
Abbreviations: CON, control; NOD, naturally occurring depressive; HC, healthy control.

Figure 2 An overview of the GC-MS-based metabonomic workflow identifying differentially expressed CSF metabolites in NOD macaques.

Note: *The data was from our published work (Xu et alCitation16).
Abbreviations: CON, control; NOD, naturally occurring depressive; GC-MS, gas chromatography–mass spectrometry; CSF, cerebrospinal fluid; VIP, variable importance in the projection; IPA, Ingenuity Pathways Analysis.

Figure 4 (A) Heat map of differentially expressed CSF metabolites in CON and NOD macaques. (B) Chemical taxonomy and (C) cellular locations based on the annotations of Human Metabolome Database (HMDB). The predicted biological functions were significantly involved in the biosynthesis of lipid (D) and uptake of amino acids (E).

Figure 5 Network analysis of differentially expressed metabolites in CSF and serum of NOD macaques.

Notes: *The data was from our published work (Xu et alCitation16). Red-colored boxes and red-colored lines indicate upregulation in NOD macaques compared with control (CON), while green-colored boxes and green-colored lines indicate downregulation. The width of the line represents the VIP scores of differential metabolites.
