Lithium (Li) ameliorates TMT-induced depression-like behavior.

<p>Animals were given either lithium carbonate (100 mg/kg, i.p.) or PBS daily on days 2 to 15 post-treatment with TMT or PBS prior to the forced swimming test, which was conducted on days 16 and 30 post-TMT treatment (Schedule 3). Values are expressed as the mean ± S.E. calculated from 4–6 animals. **<i>P</i><0.01, significantly different from the control value obtained for the naïve group. ^#<i>P</i><0.05, significant difference between the values obtained for PBS and Li groups.
