The control and model groups were gavaged with solvent, the positive medicine group received a combination of donepezil and memantine, and the Qifuyin (QFY) groups were divided into three doses: low, medium, and high. The effects of QFY on anxiety-like behaviors in mice were assessed using the open field test (OFT) and elevated plus maze (EPM) test, while depression-like behaviors were evaluated through the forced swim test (FST) and sucrose splash test (ST). Plasma levels of corticosterone (CORT), testosterone (T), and estradiol (E2) were measured using ELISA, while adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) were quantified via radioimmunoassay. Differences in plasma hormone levels among groups were analyzed using principal component analysis (PCA).
