Fig. 1 — The effects of D-ribose (RIB), L-arabinose (ARA), D-glucose (Glc), D-mannose (MAN) and D-xylose (XYL) on cell viability were evaluated in cultured neuro-2a (N2a) cells. Then, two of monosacccharides (RIB and MAN) were selected for intraperitoneal injection in mice, and the effects of these monosaccharides on depressive- and anxiety-like behavior, as well as spatial learning and memory ability were examined. In addition, the integration of widely targeted metabolomics and transcriptomics in the hippocampus were performed. Based on metabolite-gene network analysis, qRT-PCR and western blot analysis were used to verify the effects of RIB on the insulin-POMC-MEK-TCF7L2 pathway and the effects of MAN on the MAPK-CREB-GRIN2A-CaMKII pathway.
