Taken from a review of articles on the benefits of phytoecdysones. The forced swim test is a fairly standard test, and so it looks like this should be a usual parameter that is measured, but I can't find any good translations of it. Please back up your answers with source refs.
Les phytoecdysones augmentent significativement (49%) la résistance à l’effort de souris soumises au test de nage forcée lors d’une administration une heure avant le test.
Thank you.
