The Effects of High-fat-diet Combined with Chronic Unpredictable Mild Stress on Depression-like Behavior and Leptin/LepRb in Male Rats
Obesity is a condition characterized by massive adipose tissue accumulation, which is usually caused by complicated
genetic and environmental factors1–3. Obesity is associated with many health problems including metabolic
syndrome, cardiovascular diseases and psychiatric disorders4–7. Depression is a ...
Suppression of Neuroinflammatory and Apoptotic Signaling Cascade by curcumin Alone and in Combination with Piperine in Rat Model of Olfactory
Bulbectomy Induced Depression
Objectives: Bilateral destruction of the olfactory bulbs is known to cause behavioral changes analogous to symptoms of depression. Curcumin, a traditional Indian spice is currently being investigated in different psychiatric problems including depression. Dietary ...
Oxidative stress predicts depressive symptom changes with omega-3
fatty acid treatment in coronary artery disease patients
Background: Antidepressant efficacy of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (n-3 PUFA) treatment in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients remains unpredictable. N-3 PUFA can mitigate oxidative stress, which is common in CAD and may contribute to depressive symptoms. This study investigated whether greater pre-treatment ...
Optimal Serum Selenium Concentrations Are Associated with Lower Depressive Symptoms and Negative Mood among Young Adults
Background: There is evidence that low, and possibly high, selenium status is associated with depressed mood. More evidence is needed to determine whether this pattern occurs in young adults with a wide range of serum concentrations of selenium.
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine if serum selenium concen...
Omega-3 Fatty Acids, Depressive Symptoms, and Cognitive
Performance in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease
Abstract: This trial investigated the efficacy of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (n-3 PUFA) treatment for improving depressive symptoms and cognitive performance in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) participating in cardiac rehabilitation. Patients with CAD aged 45 to 80 years were randomized to receive either 1.9-g/d ...
Long Chain Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Supplementation Alleviates Doxorubicin-Induced Depressive-Like Behaviors and Neurotoxicity
in Rats: Involvement of Oxidative Stress and Neuroinflammation
Abstract: Doxorubicin (DOX) is a chemotherapeutic agent widely used in human malignancies. Its long-term use can cause neurobiological side-effects associated with depression. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (!-3 PUFAs), the essential ...
High glycemic index diet as a risk factor for depression: analyses from
the Women’s Health Initiative
Background: The consumption of sweetened beverages, refined foods, and pastries has been shown to be associated with an increased
risk of depression in longitudinal studies. However, any influence that refined carbohydrates has on mood could be commensurate
with their proportion in the overall diet; studies are therefore needed that ...
