Involvement of Anti-Inflammatory and Stress Oxidative Markers in the Antidepressant-like Activity of Aloysia citriodora and Verbascoside on Mice with Bacterial Lipopolysaccharide- (LPS-) Induced Depression

Figure 3

Behavioral effects of HEAc and verbascoside in mice in the pretreatment experiment. Note: pretreatment experiment: treatments administered (gavage) 1 h before exposure to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 600 μg/kg, i.p). N (naive); Veh (vehicle, water); HEAc (Aloysia citriodora hydroalcoholic extract 3, 30, or 300 mg/kg); VBS (verbascoside, 30 mg/kg); Flu (fluoxetine 30 mg/kg). A–H: values are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 8). ANOVA (one way), post hoc Tukey. , , and compared to the naive group.
