The present study can be summarized by following finding: 1. the force swim stress procedure caused depressive-like behavior in treatment rats, as observed by different assays such as mirror chamber test and elevated plus maze test; 2. significant reduction in depressive- like behaviors was evident in the stressed rats treated with PF and Sertraline (positive control); 3. forced swim test procedures imbalance the neurotransmitter and induced inflammatory injury along with oxidative damage by increasing lipid peroxidation in the treated rats and 4. PF and Sertraline treatments exerted protective effects against forced swim stress and increase the level of neurotransmitter and decrease the glutathione in the rat brain. keywords: 14th; 28th; 7th; acetylcholine; acid; activities; activity; animals; antidepressant; antioxidant; anxiety; arbortristis; behavioral; biochemical; biol; biotechnology; body; brain; chronic; cognitive; content; control; damage; data; days; decrease; depression; different; disorders; drug; effect; entries; extract; figure; forced; formulation; fst; glutathione; group; hippophae; immobility; increase; journal; kumari; level; life; like; lipid; major; mao; melatonin; mice; min; model; monoamine; nepal; nepjol.info/index.php/njb; neurotransmitter; njb; noradrenalin; number; nyctanthes; ocimum; open; oxidase; oxidative; peroxidation; pharmacol; plants; polyherbal; positive; potential; present; rats; reduced; reduction; results; reuptake; role; salcifolia; selective; serotonin; sertraline; significant; society; somnifera; standard; stressed; studies; study; swim; system; test; time; treatment; university; values; vol; water; withania cache: njb-70.pdf plain text: njb-70.txt item: #96 of 115 id: njb-71 author: Chhetri, Bijay title: Nematode Fauna Associated with Kiwi (Actinidia delicosa, Chev.)
