Social isolation rearing induces mitochondrial, immunological, neurochemical and behavioural deficits in rats, and is reversed by clozapine or N-acetyl cysteine
(Elsevier, 2013)
Apart from altered dopamine (DA) function, schizophrenia displays mitochondrial and immune-inflammatory
abnormalities, evidenced by oxidative stress, altered kynure nine metaboli sm and cytokine
release . N-acetyl cysteine ...
N-acetyl cysteine reverses social isolation rearing induced changes in cortico-striatal monoamines in rats
(Springer, 2013)
Schizophrenia is causally associated with early-life
environmental stress, implicating oxidative stress in its pathophysiology.
N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), a glutathione precursor
and antioxidant, is emerging as a useful ...
Garcinia mangostana Linn displays antidepressant-like and pro-cognitive effects in a genetic animal model of depression: a bio-behavioral study in the Flinders Sensitive Line rat
(Springer, 2018)
There is abundant evidence for both disorganized redox balance and cognitive deficits in major depressive disorder (MDD). Garcinia mangostana Linn (GM) has anti-oxidant activity. We studied the antidepressant-like and ...
The therapeutic potential of Mangosteen pericarp as an adjunctive therapy for bipolar disorder and schizophrenia
(Frontiers Media, 2019)
New treatments are urgently needed for serious mental illnesses including bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. This review proposes that Garcinia mangostana Linn. (mangosteen) pericarp is a possible adjunctive therapeutic ...
Social isolation rearing-induced anxiety and response to agomelatine in male and female rats: role of corticosterone, oxytocin, and vasopressin
(Sage, 2019)
Background:
The chronobiotic antidepressant, agomelatine, acts via re-entrainment of circadian rhythms. Earlier work has demonstrated late-life anxiety and reduced corticosterone in post-weaning social isolation reared ...
Studies on haloperidol and adjunctive alpha-mangostin or raw Garcinia Mangostana Linn pericarp on bio-behavioral markers in an immune-inflammatory model of schizophrenia in male rats
(Frontiers Media, 2020)
The nematicidal activity of crudely milled powders of stems, leaves, and bulbs of Cassia abbreviata, Cissus cactiformis, Euphorbia ingens, Ipomoea kituiensis, Synadenium cupulare, Senna petersiana, Urigenia sanguinea, ...
Social isolation rearing in rats alters plasma tryptophan metabolism and is reversed by sub-chronic clozapine treatment
(Elsevier, 2012)
Schizophrenia is associated with increased oxidative stress, although the source of this redox disequilibrium
requires further study. Altered tryptophan metabolism has been described in schizophrenia,
possibly linked to ...
Isolation rearing-induced deficits in sensorimotor gating and social interaction in rats are related to cortico-striatal oxidative stress, and reversed by sub-chronic clozapine administration
(Elsevier, 2011)
Social isolation rearing (SIR) in rats induces behavioral and glutamatergic changes akin to schizophrenia. We studied the effects of 8 weeks SIR on cortico-striatal redox and social and cognitive behaviors in rats. SIR ...
Development and validation of a single analytical method for the determination of tryptophan, and its kynurenine metabolites in rat plasma
(Elsevier, 2012)
It is highly beneficial to monitor the activity of the kynurenine pathway in a large series of samples with high accuracy and reliability in a single experimental protocol. We have developed a rapid specific solid-phase ...
Studies into the anxiolytic actions of agomelatine in social isolation reared rats: role of corticosterone and sex
(Sage, 2018)
Anxiety disorders are severely disabling, while current pharmacological treatments are complicated by delayed onset, low remission rates and side-effects. Sex is also noted to contribute towards illness severity and treatment ...
