Avicularin Relieves Depressive-Like Behaviors Induced by Chronic Unpredictable Mild Stress in Mice

摘要

BackgroundAvicularin (AL, quercetin-3-α-l-arabinofuranoside), a glycoside of quercetin, has been reported to display diverse pharmacological properties. The present study aimed to investigate whether AL has an anti-depressant-like effect on a mouse model of depression induced by chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS).
