Table 3: Effect of Escitalopram on nitrite and AchE enzyme levels.

Groups	Nitrite levels (μmole/mg protein)	Acetylcholinesterase levels (μmole of sub-strate hydrolysed/mg protein)
Values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD); n = 6.
Significance was determined using one way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test.
#Significantly different from control group (p<0.05).
*Significantly different from 3-NP treated group (p<0.05).
**Significantly different from E-10 + 3-NP-treated group (p<0.05).
