RESULTS: After 7 weeks of experiment, depression-like behaviors were observed in all the groups except for control and KXS groups, and KXS treatment dramatically increased open-field test scores and sucrose consumption (P < 0.01 vs. However, after 28 days, the sucrose consumption and open-field test scores were significantly reduced in the depression and model groups (data not shown), and such results were consistent with previous study . In the present study, we found that KXS had antidepressive effect and cardioprotective function by a rat model of MI with depression. After KXS treatment, open-field test scores, and sucrose consumption, which are indicators for evaluating depression-like behaviors, were significantly increased compared with the model group. ./cache/cord-032410-g546hez9.txt ./txt/cord-032410-g546hez9.txt
