Electroacupuncture Reverses CUMS-Induced Depression-Like Behaviors and LTP Impairment in Hippocampus by Downregulating NR2B and CaMK II Expression

Figure 2

The effects of CUMS on body weight and behavior. (a) Body weight increase ratio of each group of rats at different time points (W4 = week 4, W5 = week 5, W6 = week 6, and W7 = week 7) relative to the ratio of the control group ( < 0.05,  < 0.001) and to the CUMS group (^### < 0.001). (b) Number of line crossings. (c) Number of rearings. (d) Sucrose preference rate. (e) Time to first bite for each group at different time points relative to the control group ( < 0.05,  < 0.01, and  < 0.001) and to the CUMS group (^## < 0.01 and ^### < 0.001). Data are presented as the mean ± SEM, n = 15 for each group.
