Immobility times of animals in 5 minutes Porsolt swim test that displayed temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and treated with saline, GD and Fluoxetine every day for seven days. TLE was induced by injecting rats intraperitoneally (i.p.) with pilocarpine (350 mg/kg). Thirty minutes prior to the pilocarpine injection, the animals were treated with atropine (1 mg/ kg, i.p.) to reduce peripheral pilocarpine effects. Results are the mean ± SEM of n = 5 rats per group. ** p < 0.01, significantly different from saline group (ANOVA followed by Neuman-Keuls test). *** p < 0.001 significantly different from saline group (ANOVA followed by Neuman-Keuls test). ### p < 0.001 significantly different from G. dalenii treated group (ANOVA followed by Neuman-Keuls test). GD: G. dalenii: aqueous macerate of the bulb of Gladiolus dalenii.
