Pharmacological Study on Total Glycosides of Xiebai Protecting against Depression Model

Table 7

Effect of total glucosides of Xiebai on pituitary pathological changes onchronic depression model rats.

Group	Number of animals	Dose (mg·kg^−1)	Number of cells
Blank group	10	—	47.2 ± 2.2
Model group	10	—	38.2 ± 2.1
Fluoxetine hydrochloride group	10	6.6	41.6 ± 2.8
High-dose Xiebai total glycosides group	10	200	46.3 ± 1.6
Medium-dose Xiebai total glycosides group	10	100	44.3 ± 1.3
Low-dose Xiebai total glycosides group	10	50	40.1 ± 1.6

Note. The number of cells that fall within the frame is small, indicating that the gland cells are large and active. Compared with the model group,  < 0.05 and  < 0.01.
