Present study was undertaken to evaluate the applicability of the well-established olfactory bulbectomy (OB) rat model of experimental depression for the assessment of aripiprazole antidepressant effects. Since the affective disorders are often accompanied by the immune system dysfunction [2], the leukocyte phagocytosis representing the cell immune function was measured together with the behavioural changes. Aripiprazole exhibited a significant positive influence on the impaired behavioural and immune changes in the OB rats serving as model of depression. Thus, chronic treatment with this antipsychotic drug can modulate the cell immune function, which may add to its clinical efficacy. ER -
