Article Synopsis
- Mental stress can lead to physiological changes, including increased autonomic nervous activity and gastric ulcers, while also affecting glucocorticoids and BDNF levels in the hippocampus.
- The study explored the anxiolytic effects of ASH (a herbal extract) on male rats through behavioral tests, revealing that ASH treatment reduced the time to eat in stressful conditions and improved other anxiety-related behaviors.
- Results demonstrated that ASH (especially at 5% concentration) not only altered autonomic nervous activity—as shown by changes in LFnu and HFnu—but also significantly increased BDNF protein expression in the hippocampus, suggesting a potential mechanism for its anxiolytic effects.
