Methods: Rats were divided into 6 groups. Groups A served as normal control. Group B?C?D?E?F received 21 days chronic stress. Group C?D?E?F were fed with normal food, EGb, Venlafaxine and EGb+Venlafaxine respectively for 28 days after enduring 21 days chronic stress. Every rat had been observed open-field behavior before decapitated.One side of the hippocampus were measured the expression of nNOS by immunohistochemistry method, the other side hippocampus and the serum were measured the concentrations of NO.Results:The expression of protein nNOS in hippocampus of group B was increased compared with group A (P
