Significant differences were determined by one-way ANOVA. and versus the N group; ## and # versus the M group. Data are mean ± SD, . NGS: normal animal administrated with total ginsenoside (GS) group; WP: wide platform group; M: SD model group; MGS: model administrated with GS group; ACTH: adrenocorticotropic hormone; TSH: thyroid-stimulating hormone; CORT: corticosterone; CA: catecholamine. Normal, WP, and model received normal saline solution; NGS and MGS received GS orally at a daily dose of 100 mg/kg of body weight from day 1 to day 8.
