Figure 1

Effects of dopaminergic drugs alone or in combination with 17β-E₂ on depressive-like behavior of the OVX rats. Columns represent the immobility time (a), struggling duration (b), and swimming duration (c) in the forced swimming test mean ± SEM (in sec). Each group comprised of ten rats. *𝑃<0.05 versus control group of rats, ^#𝑃<0.05 versus OVX rats treated with 17β-E₂.
