Effect of EA and Flu on neurotransmitters in the hippocampus of CUMS rats (detected by high performance liquid chromatography).
(A) 5-HT in blood; (B) NE in blood; (C) Glu in the hippocampus; and (D) GABA in the hippocampus. Data are presented as the mean ± SD. Experiments were performed five times. One-way analysis of variance and Tukey's post hoc test were used to examine differences among groups. #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01, vs. control group; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, vs. CUMS group. CON: Control; CUMS: chronic unexpected mild stress; EA: electroacupuncture; Flu: fluoxetine; 5-HT: 5-hydroxytryptamine; NE: norepinephrine; Glu: glutamate; GABA: γ-aminobutyric acid.
