Article Synopsis
- Depression affects over 300 million people globally, and this study explores the impact of an essential oil and its main component, thymol, on depression in a mouse model induced by corticosterone.
- Male mice were treated with corticosterone and then given either the essential oil, thymol, or fluoxetine, with various behavioral tests conducted to assess their effects.
- Findings indicated that both the essential oil and thymol reduced signs of depression and had similar effects to fluoxetine, suggesting their potential as antidepressant alternatives, but further research is recommended.
