The modulating effect of myo-inositol and other antidepressants on the mRNA levels and protein expression of selected subcellular enzymes
(North-West University, 2005)
Myo-lnositol (mIns), a natural component of the human diet and essential precursor of
several signalling pathways, including that of G protein-coupled receptors, has also been
shown to be effective in the treatment of ...
The role of myo-inositol in G-protein coupled receptor-mediated sub-cellular transduction mechanisms in neuronal cell lines
(North-West University, 2003)
myo-lnositol (ml), a simple polyol isomer of glucose, is an important osmolyte in the brain and a precursor of the phosphatidyl inositol metabolic pathway. It is known to facilitate various cellular events such as membrane ...
The role of the NO-cGMP pathway as a putative target in antidepressant action
(North-West University, 2004)
Depressive disorders are among the most frequent psychiatric diseases in the Western world with prevalence between 9% and 18%. Poor compliance and inappropriate antidepressant discontinuation invokes long-term morbidity, ...
Regional neurochemical characterization of the flinders sensitive line rat with regard to gaba and cholinergic signalling pathways
(North-West University, 2008)
Despite their acknowledged efficacy, currently available antidepressants still demonstrate undesirable side effects, shortfalls in effectiveness and a delayed onset of action. All these agents act via monoaminergic mechanisms, ...
The modulatory effects of sildenafil and the cholinergic system on antidepressant action in a rat model of depression
(North-West University, 2006)
Sildenafil, a selective phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor, is registered for the treatment of male erectile dysfunction (Viagra®) and pulmonary hypertension (Revatio®) in the United States. PDE5 is found in the ...
