Polysaccharides from Baihe Dihuang decoction ameliorate depression-like behaviors in rats subjected to chronic unpredictable mild stress through modulation of metabolic homeostasis
Key Points
Polysaccharides significantly reduce depression-like behaviors in rats under chronic unpredictable mild stress.
The analysis showed notable behavioral improvements, indicated by decreased anxiety and depressive signs after treatment.
This study utilizes an observational design focusing on the effects of polysaccharides on stress-induced behaviors in animal models.
Results suggest that these polysaccharides may help restore metabolic homeostasis, warranting further exploration of their therapeutic potential.
