Ginkgo biloba normalises stress-elevated alterations in brain catecholamines, serotonin and plasma corticosterone levels

This study examined the effects of Ginkgo biloba extract on stress-induced biochemical changes in rats, specifically focusing on alterations in brain neurotransmitters and plasma corticosterone levels. The results showed that Ginkgo biloba supplementation normalized elevated levels of norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin, and corticosterone induced by stress, suggesting its potential to counteract

Resveratrol reverses the effects of chronic unpredictable mild stress on behavior, serum corticosterone levels and BDNF expression in rats

This study examined the effects of resveratrol in rats exposed to chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS), a model for depression. Resveratrol administration significantly reversed depressive-like behaviors, normalized serum corticosterone levels, and restored brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression in the hippocampus. These findings suggest that resveratrol may counteract stress-induced depression by
