What mechanisms explain mustard honey's superior antidepressant efficacy compared to fluoxetine in behavioral tests?

OPEN

Mustard honey showed comparable or better effects than fluoxetine despite targeting the same TrkB/BDNF pathway. The mechanistic basis for this enhanced efficacy through polyphenol action versus SSRI mechanisms remains unexplained. Gap type: unexplained_observation Source paper: Phytoconstituents of Indian mustard honey impart antidepressant activity in reserpine-induced depressed condition through activation of TrkB/CREB/BDNF pathway in hippocampus.
