Effects of the major components of Acanthopanax senticosus HARMS (chlorogenic acid [CHA], ( +)-syringaresinol di–O–β-D-glucoside [SYG], and a mixture of both [MIX]) and cloxazolam (CLO) on autonomic nervous system control of heart rate in the improved elevated beam walking (IEBW) test. Power spectrum analysis of heart rate variability in the home cage and in the IEBW test. (A) Normalized low-frequency (LF) power (LFnu) reflects sympathetic nervous system activity. (B) Normalized high-frequency (HF) power (HFnu) reflects parasympathetic nervous system activity. (C) LF/HF indicates the balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system activities. Data are presented as means ± SE; n = 5–8; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 vs. the control (Cont) group (Dunnett’s t-test), #p < 0.05 versus each home cage (paired t-test).
