Postpartum depression is a mood disorder that affects about 9-20% of women after child birth. Reports suggest gestational iron deficiency can cause deficit in behavioral, cognitive and affective functions precipitate depressive symptoms mothers during the postpartum period. The present study examined effect supplementation on behavior period rat model.Female Sprague-Dawley rats were crossed. Pregnant received iron, fluoxetine, desferrioxamine or vehicle throughout gestation. During period,...

Background/Aim: Depression-related aggression is linked to serotonin (5-HT) and dendritic spine alterations. Although Mallotus oppositifolius extract (MOE) has potential for reducing this effect, its specific role remains uncertain. Herein, we evaluated associated alterations in the brain. Methods: A standard resident-intruder model of para-chlorophenylalanine (pCPA)-induced depression-associated male ICR mice was used. The resident received pCPA (300 mg/kg, i. p.) 3 consecutive days while...
