Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in gingival tissue of rats submitted to EPD and treated with venlafaxine. Animals were treated with venlafaxine (10 mg/kg, orally) during 10 days. On day 11, the gingival tissue was removed and analyzed for lipid peroxidation. Values represent mean ± S.E.M. * vs SO, ** vs EPD (p < 0.05, ANOVA and Tukey"s test).
