Neuromodulator changes in rats with menopausal depression. (A) Norepinephrine (NE) changes did not change much among the groups (P > 0.05, One-way ANOVA). (B) Dopamine (DA) decreased significantly after the stress and surgery treatment. (C) 5-HT decreased significantly after the stress and surgery treatment. (D) Cortisone increased significantly in the stress treatment groups (*p < 0.01, **p < 0.001, repeat measure one-way ANOVA comparisons between the four groups on the 7th days).
