Spinach extract diet attenuated depressive behaviors and increased CORT in a CIS-induced depression model. (A) Timeline of CIS experiments. (B) Body weight and (C) food intake (n = 7–8 mice per group). (D) Immobile duration and (E) sucrose preference, assessed by the TST and SPT, respectively (n = 7–8 mice per group). (F) Blood CORT level (n = 4–5 mice per group). All values are means ± standard error of mean (SEM). * p < 0.05. CTL, control; DC, decapitation; EE, ethanol extract; FP, frozen powder; ND, normal diet; STR, stress; CIS, chronic immobilization stress; SPT, sucrose preference test; TST, tail suspension test.
