Gene expression related to serotonergic and glutamatergic neurotransmission is altered in the flinders sensitive line rat model of depression: effect of ketamine
(Wiley, 2017)
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with dysfunctional serotonergic and glutamatergic neurotransmission, and the genetic animal model of depression Flinders Sensitive Line (FSL) rats display alterations in these ...
Chronic restraint stress increases the protein expression of VEGF and its receptor VEGFR-2 in the prefrontal cortex
(Wiley, 2015)
In the present study the central and peripheral regulation of VEGF, its cognate receptors, and regulators were examined after acute and chronic restraint stress in rats. After chronic restraint stress (6 h per day for 21 ...
Dietary magnesium deficiency alters gut microbiota and leads to depressive-like behaviour
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2015)
Objective: Gut microbiota (GM) has previously been associated with alterations in rodent behaviour, and since the GM is affected by the diet, the composition of the diet may be an important factor contributing to behavioural ...
Differential interaction with the serotonin system by S-ketamine, vortioxetine, and fluoxetine in a genetic rat model of depression
(Springer, 2016)
Rationale
The mechanisms mediating ketamine’s antidepressant effect have only been partly resolved. Recent preclinical reports implicate serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) in the antidepressant-like action of ketamine. ...
A gene-environment study of cytoglobin in the human and rat hippocampus
(PLoS, 2013)
Background: Cytoglobin (Cygb) was discovered a decade ago as the fourth vertebrate heme-globin. The function of Cygb is
still unknown, but accumulating evidence from in vitro studies point to a putative role in scavenging ...
Esketamine and rapastinel, but not imipramine, have antidepressant-like effect in a treatment-resistant animal model of depression
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2019)
Objectives:
Treatment-resistance to antidepressants is a major problem in the pharmacotherapy of major depressive disorder (MDD). Unfortunately, only a few animal models are suitable for studying treatment-resistant ...
Electroconvulsive seizures regulates the Brd1 gene in the frontal cortex and hippocampus of the adult rat
(Elsevier, 2012)
Depressive disorders represent a significant health concern as they are associated with high social and
physical dysfunction and increased risk for suicide. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is the most effective
treatment ...

Isolation-induced behavioural changes in a genetic animal model of depression
(Elsevier, 2012)
Depression is a heterogeneous disorder displaying a range of symptoms including feelings of despair and social withdrawal. Social isolation may complicate the progression of depression and have effects on both behaviour ...
Maternal high-fat diet programs offspring emotional behavior in adulthood
(Elsevier, 2018)
Prenatal exposure to high-fat diet (HFD) might predispose offspring to develop metabolic and mental disorders later in life. Insight into the molecular and behavioral consequences of maternal HFD on offspring is sparse but ...
