Xiaoyaosan Ameliorates Chronic Immobilization Stress-Induced Depression-Like Behaviors and Anorexia in Rats: The Role of the Nesfatin-1–Oxytocin–Proopiomelanocortin Neural Pathway in the Hypothalamus

Background: Chronic stress is an important risk factor for depression. The nesfatin-1 (NES1)–oxytocin (OT)–proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neural pathway, which is involved in the stress response, was recently shown to have an anorectic effect in the hypothalamus.
