(A) Sucrose preference percentage in the SPT; (B) Number of crossing in the OFT; (C) Number of rearing in the OFT; (D) Number of grooming in the OFT; (E) Open arm entries ratio in the EPM test; Results were expressed as the mean ± SEM (n = 9 or 10 in each group). #, ##, and ### indicate p < 0.05, p < 0.01, and p < 0.001 vs. C group, respectively; *, **, and *** indicate p < 0.05, p < 0.01, and p < 0.001 vs. S group, respectively.
