Data are expressed as the mean ± S.E.M. (n = 8) and analyzed by one-way ANOVA.
Data points were not significantly different (p > 0.05) from each other according to ANOVA. Positive control: CORT (40 mg/kg/day) + Fluoxetine (20 mg/kg/day). Control: CORT (40 mg/kg/day). Low dose: CORT (40 mg/kg/day) + combined extracts of chlorella and lion's mane mushroom (contains 0.1 mL chlorella extract concentrate + 6 mg lion's mane mushroom extract concentrate). Medium dose: CORT (40 mg/kg/day) + combined extracts of chlorella and lion's mane mushroom (contains 0.2 mL chlorella extract concentrate + 12 mg lion's mane mushroom extract concentrate). High dose: CORT (40 mg/kg/day) + combined extracts of chlorella and lion's mane mushroom (contains 0.4 mL chlorella extract concentrate + 24 mg lion's mane mushroom extract concentrate).
