Abstract
⺠EGb761 produces antidepressant-like effect in the forced swimming test. ⺠Protection by EGb761 is not related to excitatory or inhibitory effects. ⺠Antidepressant-like effect is associated to a reduction of lipid peroxidation. ⺠Protection is also related to a downregulation of Mn-superoxide dismutase activity. ⺠EGb761 has antioxidant effect against oxidative stress in this animal model.
