Behaviour on effect of herb pair of Bupleuri Radix and Paeoniae Alba Radix in chronic unpredictable mild stress depression model of rats

目的观察柴胡白芍药对对慢性温和不可预知性应激(CUMS)抑郁模型大鼠行为学的影响,验证柴胡白芍药对的抗抑郁作用。方法基于CUMS抑郁大鼠模型观察给予柴胡白芍药对后大鼠的行为学改变,包括大鼠的体质量、糖水消耗情况以及旷场实验活动行为情况。结果给大鼠柴胡白芍药对14 d后,柴胡白芍药对低、中、高各剂量组大鼠的体质量、糖水消耗量以及旷场实验中穿越横格数及直立次数均显著增加。说明柴胡白芍药对可以改善大鼠的抑郁行为。单用柴胡和单用白芍也可以不同程度改善部分指标。结论柴胡白芍药对对大鼠有明显抗抑郁作用。

Objective To validate the antidepressant effect of herb pair of Bupleuri Radix and Paeoniae Alba Radix by observing its interference effect in the chronic unpredictable mild stress （CUMS） depression model of rats. Methods After the interference of herb pair of Bupleuri Radix and Paeoniae Alba Radix in CUMS depression model of rats, those changes of rat body weight, sugar water consumption, and the opening activity behavior were observed. Results After the interference of herb pair of Bupleuri Radix and Paeoniae Alba Radix in CUMS depression model of rats for two weeks, the test indexes of rat body weight, sugar water consumption, and the opening activity behavior were significantly increased in low-, mid-, and high-dose herb pair of Bupleuri Radix and Paeoniae Alba Radix groups. The effect of herb pair of Bupleuri Radix and Paeoniae Alba Radix on improving the behavior of rats with depression was proved. In addition, Bupleuri Radix and Paeoniae Alba Radix could also improve the level of individual indicators in a certain degree. Conclusion Herb pair of Bupleuri Radix and Paeoniae Alba Radix has the obvious antidepressant effect on rats and the antidepressant effect of Bupleuri Radix and PaeoniaeAlba Radix separately is lower than it.
