Propolis prevents vascular endothelial dysfunction by attenuating inflammation and oxidative damage in the chronic unpredictable stress model of depression in rats

Abstract

Propolis exerted antidepressant-like and vasculoprotective effects in CUMS-induced depression in rats. Chronic propolis treatment may have a protective effect on CUMS-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction by its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
