Abstract
The antidepressant properties of newly synthesized analog of arginine-vasopressin fragment analog, Ac-D-SPRG, were tested using Porsolt’s swimming test on white rats. It was demonstrated that this substance when injected intranasally decreases the depression in comparison with the control group.
