Introduction: Although the alterations in trace elements levels were shown in chronically restrainted rats, the association between stress-induced changes in trace element levels and the effects of psychopharmacological agents has not been well documented yet. Tianeptine has been a widely used antidepressant in experimental studies investigating stress related behavioral changes. In this study, we aimed to search the effects of tianeptine pretreatment on stress-induced trace element alterations in rat brain.
