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. ... -
Effects of an antidepressant mixture on the brain serotonin and predation behavior of hybrid striped bass
(Wiley, 2016)Antidepressants have been found in measurable concentrations in final treated wastewater effluent and receiving waters throughout the world. Studies have shown that these concentrations are typically not overtly toxic, but ... -
The impact of HIV/AIDS on compliance with antidepressant treatment in major depressive disorder: a prospective study in a South African private healthcare cohort
(BioMed Central, 2015)Background: MDD and HIV/AIDS have a high prevalence worldwide with severe consequences for patients. In both conditions, compliance with treatment is key to successfully treat these disorders. In the current study, ... -
Prescribing patterns of medicine classified as 'antidepressants' in South African children and adolescents
(AOSIS, 2009)Die algemene doelstelling van hierdie studie was om die voorskrifpatrone van middels wat as 'antidepressante' geklassifiseer word (hierna verwys na as slegs antidepressante) wat vir kinders en adolessente in die Suid-Afrikaanse ... -
Prospective analysis of the medicine possession ratio of antidepressants in the private health sector of South Africa, 2006-2011

S-ketamine mediates its acute and sustained antidepressant-like activity through a 5-HT1B receptor dependent mechanism in a genetic rat model of depression
(Frontiers Media, 2018)Rationale: The mechanisms responsible for the unique antidepressant properties of ketamine have only been partly resolved. Recent preclinical reports implicate the neurotransmitter serotonin [5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)] ...
