3.2.3 Effect of probiotics on the concentration of 5-HT and CORT inthe serum of mother-infant separated offspring depressed-like rats
The results of the Elisa assay showed that compared with the CON+NS group, the serum concentration of 5-HT and CORT in theMS+NS group decreased and the concentration of CORT increased, and the differences were statistically significant (P <0.01); compared with the MS+NS group, the serum concentration of 5-HT and CORT in the MS+P group increased and the differences were statistically significant (P <0.01 and P <0.05); compared with the MS+P group, the serum concentration of 5-HT and CORT in the SD rats increased and the differences were statistically significant (P <0.01 and P <0.05). The differences were statistically significant (P <0.01,P <0.05); compared with the MS+P group, the serum levels of 5-HT and CORT expression in SD rats in the CON+NS group did not change significantly (P >0.05).
