Horizontal score | Vertical score | Total score | Sucrose (g) | Total (g) | Sucrose preference (%) | ||
Control | 306.34 ± 7.2 | 37.3 ± 3.96 | 14.5 ± 2.03 | 51.8 ± 5.47 | 9.2 ± 0.87 | 12.74 ± 0.99 | 71.9 ± 2.6 |

CUMS produced a significant decrease in the body weight, horizontal and vertical exploratory locomotor activity, sucrose intake and sucrose preference in the CUMS rats compared to that in the control rats (
p < 0.05,
p < 0.01).
