Furthermore, based on the animal model of depression induced by chronic corticosterone, the regulatory effects of ZZHPD on the expression of MAOA, MAOB, DRD2, CREBBP, AKT1, MAPK1, HTR1A, and GRIN2B mRNA levels as well as the cAMP signaling pathway and monoaminergic metabolism were experimentally verified in rats. This evidence concerns the gene CREBBP and major depressive disorder.
