Chronic stress is one of the predominant etiological factors which evoke molecular alterations in the brain leading to the development of depressive disorder. In the present study, we investigated the effect of Chrysin on Chronic Unpredictable Mild Stress (CUMS) induced alterations in behavior, noradrenergic as well as serotonergic function, and inflammation in brain. Randomly, mice were divided into four groups of six animals in each group. On 28th day after assessing behavioral parameters, brain biochemical markers were assessed. From the results, it is concluded that the chrysin protects the brain cells from CUMS induced molecular changes by attenuation of inflammation and oxidative stress.</p> ER -
