The results of rat behavioral tests and biochemical analysis in week 9 (n = 6). The sucrose preference test (SPT) score (a), open-field test (OFT) score (b), and concentration of 5-HT in plasma (d) were lower, and the forced swimming test (FST) score (c) was higher in the CUMS group compared with the control group. While the SPT score (a), OFT score (b), and concentration of 5-HT in plasma (d) were higher, FST score was lower in CUMS + treat (ZZHPD treatment) group and CUMS + PX group compared with CUMS group. different from control group; ##p < 0.01 ###p < 0.001 different from CUMS group (measured by one-way ANOVA).
