Social defeat stress causes depression-like behavior with metabolite changes in the prefrontal cortex of rats
Major depressive disorder is a serious mental disorder with high morbidity and mortality. The role of social stress in the development of depression remains unclear. Here, we used the social defeat stress paradigm to induce depression-like behavior in rats, then evaluated the behavior of the rats and measured metabolic changes in the prefrontal cortex using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry....
متن کاملDnmt3a in the Medial Prefrontal Cortex Regulates Anxiety-Like Behavior in Adult Mice.
Recently, it has been suggested that alterations in DNA methylation mediate the molecular changes and psychopathologies that can occur following trauma. Despite the abundance of DNA methyltransferases (Dnmts) in the brain, which are responsible for catalyzing DNA methylation, their roles in behavioral regulation and in response to stressful challenges remain poorly understood. Here, we demonstr...
متن کاملNanocurcumine Ameliorates Lipopolysaccharide-induced Depressive-like Behavior in Mice
Objective(s): Curcumin, a plant alkaloid from Curcuma longa, possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Recently, the antidepressant activities of curcumin were reported. Nevertheless, bioavailability of curcumin limits its therapeutic utility. Nanotechnology is a developing field that potentially enhances bioavailability and the plasma concentration of curcumin. This study investiga...
متن کاملmiR-124 Regulates the Phase of Drosophila Circadian Locomotor Behavior.
UNLABELLED Animals use circadian rhythms to anticipate daily environmental changes. Circadian clocks have a profound effect on behavior. In Drosophila, for example, brain pacemaker neurons dictate that flies are mostly active at dawn and dusk. miRNAs are small, regulatory RNAs (≈22 nt) that play important roles in posttranscriptional regulation. Here, we identify miR-124 as an important regulat...
متن کاملGlutamine deficiency in the prefrontal cortex increases depressive-like behaviours in male mice.
BACKGROUND The brain levels of glutamate (Glu) and glutamine (Gln) are partially regulated through the Glu-Gln cycle. Astrocytes play a role in regulating the Glu-Gln cycle, and loss of astrocytes has been associated with depressive disorders. We hypothesized that levels of Glu and Gln would be affected by astrocyte loss and dysregulation of the Glu-Gln cycle and that depressive-like behaviours...
