Effect and Mechanism of Catalpol on Behavior in Rats with Post-stroke Depression by WANG Xiangyu, ZHOU Xia, LIU Ju, LIU Fuhong, ZHANG Jiale, SUN Liping, LI Wanbin

“…TTC staining showed that the volume of cerebral infarction in the catalpol intervention group was significantly reduced compared with model group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05). In the ELISA experiment, compared with the model group, 5-HT and BDNF in the catalpol intervention group were significantly increased on the 4th and 7th day after intervention, and the difference was significant (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); there was no significant difference in NE content in the catalpol intervention group on the 4th and 7th day after intervention (<italic>P</italic>&gt;0.05); compared with the model group, the hippocampal 5-HT and BDNF in the catalpol intervention group increased significantly (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); there was no significant difference in the content of NE in hippocampus between the catalpol intervention group and the model group (<italic>P</italic>&gt;0.05), indicating that catalpol could increase 5-HT and BDNF levels in rats with post-stroke depression, but did not significantly improve NE.ConclusionCatalpol can improve post-stroke depression, promote the recovery of neurological function, regulate the function of central serotonin system and promote the secretion of BDNF.…”
