Abstract
The two-body post-Newtonian equations of motion in the nonsymmetric gravitational theory are reduced to the one-body form in the centre-of-mass coordinates. The periastron shift formula is calculated and an additional negative contribution is found that can have important consequences for apsidal motion in close binary systems.Keywords
