Electroacupuncture Promotes Proliferation of Amplifying Neural Progenitors and Preserves Quiescent Neural Progenitors from Apoptosis to Alleviate Depressive-Like and Anxiety-Like Behaviours

Figure 2

Stressed rats (Model group) show significantly depressive-like and anxiety-like behaviours after 2-week CUS exposure. (a) The immobility time and (b) the climbing time in forced swimming test are expressed in seconds. (c) Percentage of open-arm entries and (d) percentage of time spent in open arms during a 5 min test on the elevated plus-maze. (e) The number of rearing during the open field test. The results are expressed as the mean ± SEM. *𝑃<0.05 and **𝑃<0.01, versus Normal group.
