Fluvoxamine maleate normalizes striatal neuronal inflammatory cytokine activity in a Parkinsonian rat model associated with depression
Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate how fluvoxamine maleate treatment regulates depressive-like symptoms, motor impairments and the expressions of IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-10…Tardive syndromes induced by coadministration of tramadol and sertralin
Objective: To illustrate the possible association of tardive syndromes (TS) and coadministration of tramadol and sertraline in three patients. Background: TS is delayed onset of…The tricyclic antidepressant medication nortriptyline inhibits alpha-synuclein accumulation, aggregation and toxicity in multiple in vitro and in vivo models.
Objective: Using preclinical models, assess the potential disease-modifying effects of nortriptyline (NOR) as a treatment in early Parkinson’s disease (PD). Background: PD and other synucleinopathies…The clinically-available anti-depressant mirtazapine alleviates both psychosis and dyskinesia in the MPTP-lesioned marmoset
Objective: To determine the effect of mirtazapine, a clinically-available anti-depressant, on psychosis and dyskinesia in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Background: Psychosis and dyskinesia cause significant morbidity…Neuroprotective effects of antidepressant mirtazapine against dopaminergic neurodegeneration in cultured cells and in parkinsonian mice possibly by targeting astrocytes
Objective: In this study, we examined neuroprotective effects of mirtazapine and involvement of astrocytes in the effects using primary cultured cells and parkinsonian mice. Background:…Neuroprotective and antidepressant-like effects of the endogenous amines from tetrahydroisoquinoline group TIQ and 1MeTIQ in the animal model of depressive disorder: Behavioral and neurochemical studies in the rat
Objective: For the purpose of estimation neuroprotective and antidepressant-like effects of the endogenous amines 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (TIQ) and its close methyl derivative, 1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (1MeTIQ) in the…Duloxetine, a serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, reduces daily OFF time in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate efficacy of duloxetine on motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with wearing-off in an open label trial. Background: Duloxetine, a serotonin…Impaired hippocampal neurogenesis associates with serotonergic axonal degeneration in transgenic rat and mouse models of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate the impact of α-synuclein accumulation on the hippocampal serotonergic system and hippocampal plasticity in two different α-synuclein expressing rodent models. Background: Parkinson's…The effects of fluvoxamine maleate in a post-natal stress rat model of neurodegeneration
Objective: In this study, we investigated whether treatment of anxiety-like symptoms with Fluvoxamine maleate alleviates the neurotoxic effects of 6-OHDA in a Parkinsonian rat model.…Effects of antidepressants on gait parameters in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To compare GAITRite parameters between PD patients on antidepressants with patients who were not on any psychotropic. Background: PD patients have an increased risk…
