Increasing TSPO in the brain reduces anxiety and depression.
research Antidepressant-Like Effect of Fluoxetine May Depend on Translocator Protein Activity and Pretest Session Duration in Forced Swimming Test in Mice
Fluoxetine's effectiveness as an antidepressant in mice depends on a specific protein activity and a 5-minute pretest.
research Neurosteroidogenesis Today: Novel Targets for Neuroactive Steroid Synthesis and Action and Their Relevance for Translational Research
New targets for making and using brain-synthesized steroids could lead to better treatments for brain disorders and alcoholism.
research Physiopathological Role of the Enzymatic Complex 5α-Reductase and 3α/β-Hydroxysteroid Oxidoreductase in the Generation of Progesterone and Testosterone Neuroactive Metabolites
The enzymes 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase help create brain-active substances from progesterone and testosterone, which could be used for treatment, but more research is needed to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
research TSPO Activation Modulates the Effects of High Pressure in a Rat Ex Vivo Glaucoma Model
Activating TSPO helps protect the retina from damage caused by high eye pressure in glaucoma.
research TSPO Ligand Etifoxine Attenuates LPS-Induced Cognitive Dysfunction in Mice
Etifoxine, an anxiety drug, can lessen brain inflammation and cognitive issues in mice, partly by increasing production of protective brain steroids.
research GLP-1 Receptor Agonists: Beyond Their Pancreatic Effects
GLP-1 receptor agonists, like Dulaglutide, Liraglutide, and Semaglutide, have potential benefits beyond the pancreas, including neuroprotection, pain suppression, cardiovascular protection, obesity management, and cancer treatment, but there are concerns about pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer risks.
