However the use of these combinations is controversial due to several factors, including the time of intervention in relation to menopause onset. This paper analyzes whether time post-OVX influences the antidepressant-like action of a combination of ethynyl-estradiol (EE2) and citalopram (CIT) in the forced swim test (FST). Middle-aged (15 months old) female Wistar rats were ovariectomized and after one or three weeks treated with EE2 (1.25, 2.5 or 5.0 \u00b5g\/rat, s.c.; \u221248 h) or CIT (1.25, 2.5, 5.0 or 10 mg\/kg, i.p.\/3 injections in 24 h) and tested in the FST. In a second experiment, after one or three weeks of OVX, rats received a combination of an ineffective dose of EE2 (1.25 \u00b5g\/rat, s.c., \u221248 h) plus CIT (2.5 mg\/kg, i.p.\/3 injections in 24 h) and subjected to the FST. Finally, the uteri were removed and weighted to obtain an index of the peripheral effects of EE2 administration. EE2 (2.5 or 5.0 \u00b5g\/rat) reduced immobility after one but not three weeks of OVX. In contrast, no CIT dose reduced immobility at one or three weeks after OVX. When EE2 (1.25 \u00b5g\/rat) was combined with CIT (2.5 mg\/kg) an antidepressant-like effect was observed at one but not three weeks post-OVX. The weight of the uteri augmented when EE2 was administrated three weeks after OVX. The data suggest that the time post-OVX is a crucial factor that contributes to observe the antidepressant-like effect of EE2 alone or in combination with CIT.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ph9020021","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,5,3]],"date-time":"2016-05-03T10:12:55Z","timestamp":1462270375000},"page":"21","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["The Post-Ovariectomy Interval Affects the Antidepressant-Like Action of Citalopram Combined with Ethynyl-Estradiol in the Forced Swim Test in Middle Aged Rats"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Nelly","family":"Vega Rivera","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Neuropsicofarmacolog\u00eda, Direcci\u00f3n de Neurociencias, Instituto Nacional de Psiquiatr\u00eda \u201cRam\u00f3n de la Fuente Mu\u00f1iz\u201d, INPRFM, Calzada M\u00e9xico-Xochimilco 101, Col San Lorenzo Huipulco 14370, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alfredo","family":"Gallardo Tenorio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Farmacobiolog\u00eda, Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n y Estudios Avanzados-Sede Sur.
