Decreased in vivo α2 adrenoceptor binding in the Flinders Sensitive Line rat model of depression
(Elsevier, 2015)
Depression is a debilitating heterogenous disorder and the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Alterations in monoaminergic neurotransmission, including noradrenergic, have been implicated in the etiology of depression. ...
Expression of inflammatory markers in a genetic rodent model of depression
(Elsevier, 2015)
The complex bidirectional communication between the central nervous system and the peripheral immune system is of possible relevance for both normal brain functions and the development of psychiatric disorders. The aim of ...
Ketamine and aminoguanidine differentially affect Bdnf and Mtor gene expression in the prefrontal cortex of adult male rats
(Elsevier, 2017)
The rapid and sustained antidepressant properties of ketamine provide evidence of the importance of the glutamatergic system in the neurobiology of depression. The antidepressant-like effects of ketamine are dependent on ...
Chronic treatment with the phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors sildenafil and tadalafil display anxiolytic effects in Flinders Sensitive Line rats
(Springer, 2012)
There are conflicting results from behavioural studies regarding whether the activation or inhibition of the cGMP-nitric oxide (NO) pathway induces anxiolytic-like behaviour. Sildenafil, an inhibitor of cGMP-selective ...
Flinders sensitive line rats are resistant to infarction following transient occlusion of the middle cerebral artery
(Elsevier, 2020)
Background
Depression is a common complication of stroke and increases the risk of mortality and disability. Pre-stroke depression is a possible risk factor for stroke and has also been linked to adverse outcomes. The ...
