Glucocorticoid Receptors, Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor, Serotonin and Dopamine Neurotransmission are Associated with Interferon-Induced Depression
BACKGROUND The role of inflammation in mood disorders has received increased attention. There is substantial evidence that cytokine therapies, such as interferon alpha (IFN-alpha), can induce depressive symptoms. Indeed, proinflammatory cytokines change brain function in several ways, such as altering neurotransmitters, the glucocorticoid axis, and apoptotic mechanisms. This study aimed to eval...
متن کاملBrain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor for Depression Therapeutics
Increasing evidence over the last two decades has indicated that the pathophysiology of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and the action of antidepressants both involve Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), a major neuronal growth factor in the brain. MDD is a complex disorder that results from genetic and environmental influences, singly or in combination. This article reviews the current kn...
متن کاملPro-brain-derived neurotrophic factor inhibits GABAergic neurotransmission by activating endocytosis and repression of GABAA receptors.
GABA is the canonical inhibitory neurotransmitter in the CNS. This inhibitory action is largely mediated by GABA type A receptors (GABAARs). Among the many factors controlling GABAergic transmission, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) appears to play a major role in regulating synaptic inhibition. Recent findings have demonstrated that BDNF can be released as a precursor (proBDNF). Althou...
متن کاملDiscordant peripheral levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor and serotonin are associated with enhanced emotional intelligence in men
Emotional intelligence (EI), a normally-distributed, multi-faceted construct, encompasses the abilities to perceive, understand, regulate, and use emotions adaptively. As low EI is a risk factor for mood disturbance, there is clinical value in mapping its biological contributions. Although the neurochemistry and neurogenetics of mood disorders, particularly with respect to brainderived neurotro...
متن کاملInvolvement of Mice Hippocampus Brain-derived Neurotrophic Factor in Diazinon-induced Depressive Behavior in Mice
Background: Diazinon (Dzn), an Organophosphorus (OP) pesticide, is extensively used in agriculture. Acetylcholinesterase inhibition is linked to OP toxicity, and there are major mental health concerns associated with the use of pesticides. The objective of this study was to assess the depressive behavior in an animal model following their exposure to Dzn and the effect on the Brain-Derived Neur...
