TL;DR

Mechanistically, CPE activated the BDNF/Nrf2 axis, increased GPX4 activity, suppressed acyl-CoA synthetase long chain family member 4 expression, and reduced iron accumulation, and all protective effects of CPE overexpression were reversed by ML385.

NDP-MSH rescues LPS-induced neuroinflammation, synaptic deficits, and depressive-like behaviors in mice: involvement of MC1R–cAMP/PKA signaling

MC1R-related signaling in the PFC is highlighted as an important contributor to inflammation-associated depression and NDP-MSH alleviates inflammation-associated depressive-like behaviors in association with melanocortin signaling involving MC1R and downstream cAMP/PKA activation.

Tetrahydrocurcumin ameliorates depression-like behaviors in chronic restraint stress mice by modulating neuroinflammation and neurotrophic balance via the SIRT1/NF-κB pathway.

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...
