[Effects of shuyu ningxln recipe on the praxiology and the expressions of hippocampal BDNF and trkB of model rats with chronic stress-induced depression].

Objective: To observe the effects of Shuyu Ningxin Recipe (SNR) on the praxiology and the expressions of hippocampal brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its receptor tyrosine kinase B (TrkB) of model rats with chronic stress-induced depression, thus exploring its anti-depression mechanisms.

Methods: Sixty adult SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups, i.e.
