Fig. 3. Behavioural indicators for CURD and CUMR mice treated with specific drugs as compared with amphetamine and corticosterone models.

Fig. 3

a The percentage of sucrose preference. b The total intake volume of water used to test appetite. c The percentage of sucrose pellets preference was operated to assess anhedonia. d The total intake weight of pellets was used to assess appetite. The immobility time in tail suspension (e) and forced swimming tests were recorded in the last 4 min of 6 min. f In the open field tests, the total travelled distance (g), the time spent in central space (h) and the times of vertical counts (i) were recorded in 5 min. In the three-chambered sociability test, the ratio of social circle duration (j) and chamber duration (k) were recorded in 10 min. l The picture mice of gnawing in the darkness and the representative images of stick scrap gnawed by mice in control, CUMR and CURD groups. m The chippings weights gnawed by mice in 2 h. After intraperitoneal injection of pentobarbital at 50 mg/kg dose, the time of sleep latency (n) and sleep duration (o) were recorded. The total sleep time of mice without interference were recorded in 24 h (p). Data were presented as mean ± SD, n = 20 per group. One-way ANOVA for comparisons including more than two groups; unpaired two-tailed t-test for two group comparisons. Significant different from control group: *p < 0.05, and ***p < 0.001.
