TL;DR

The SIRT1/NF-κB pathway is highlighted as a key mechanism mediating the therapeutic effect of THC against depression by activating SIRT1 to suppress NF‑κB-mediated neuroinflammation and restore neurotrophic factor expressions.

Diosmetin attenuates chronic unpredictable mild stress induced-depression-like behavior in mice via modulation of oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and the gut-brain axis.

Depression is a highly prevalent affective disorder, and current pharmacotherapies are often limited by suboptimal efficacy and adverse effects. Diosmetin, a dietary flavonoid, exhibits neuroprotective properties through antioxidant and anti-inflammatory mechanisms; however, its antidepressant potential remains insuffi...

Attenuation of systemic inflammation-induced behavioral deficits and neuromolecular alterations by N-acetylcysteine in a rodent model

Aims: Systemic inflammation driven by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces neurobehavioral deficits, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis dysregulation, and neurodegeneration-related alterations. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a potent antioxidant with emerging anti-inflammatory properties. This study investigated whether...

Shikonin Attenuates Neuroinflammation and Depression-Like Behaviors by Regulating Microglial Polarization Through Inhibiting cGAS-STING/NF-κB Signaling and Lipid Droplet Accumulation.

BACKGROUND Major depressive disorder is a disabling psychiatric illness with a growing global burden. Neuroinflammation, particularly microglial polarization, is increasingly recognized as a key pathogenic factor and is closely linked to lipid metabolic regulation. Shikonin, a bioactive naphthoquinone from Lithospermum...

Polygalic acid produces rapid antidepressant effects via modulation of hippocampal inflammation and brain-derived neurotrophic factor expression in mice.

Major depressive disorder represents a critical global health burden with limited rapid-acting therapeutic options. This study investigated the natural triterpenoid saponin polygalic acid for rapid antidepressant efficacy and its mechanistic relationship with neuroinflammation. In male C57BL/6 mice subjected to chronic...

Ursolic acid attenuates LPS-induced cognitive dysfunction through the modulation of oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and hippocampal synaptic plasticity.

BACKGROUND Neuroinflammation and oxidative stress play vital roles in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases characterized by cognitive decline. Ursolic acid (UA), a natural pentacyclic triterpenoid compound with reported anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, has been suggested as a potential neuroprote...
