| Research Abstract |
We investigated whether inhalation of green odor(a mixture of equal amounts of trans-2-hexenal and cis-3-hexenal) cures and/or prevents the depressive disorders induced in rats. To this end, we used two behavioral models of depression, forced swim test and learned helplessness paradigms. The present results suggest that green odor has not only a therapeutic, but also a preventive effect on depressive-like states in rats.
