Abstract: AIM: To study the effect of Helicid on the behavior in chronically stressed mice. METHODS: Mice were exposed to chronic mild stress(CMS) and isolated breed for 28 consecutive days with coadministration of Helicid (40,20,10 mg/kg, i.g. ) or Fluoxetine (2.6 mg/kg, i.g.).The open field test, sucrose preference test and emotional behavior score were applied to assess the behavior efficacy. RESULTS: Helicid or Fluoxetine treatment reversed depression-like behaviors such as deficient locomotory, reduced sucrose preference, emotional behavior score and weight. CONCLUSION: Helicid has an obviously antidepressant effect in chronically stressed mice.
