Shouriehebal Soni, Varsha Andhare

Abstract :

Fluoxetine is an antidepressant used worldwide for the treatment of depression. The current study aimed to investigate the indirect effects of fluoxetine on rat using tail suspension test as the method of assessment. The experimental rats were fed with fluoxetine treated Catlacatla fish and subjected to the tail suspension test. The time taken by the animal to jump and hold its tail when suspended in air was recorded. A significant difference was observed between the tail suspension test timings for control and experimental groups indicating the effects of fluoxetine.
