Many peripheral biomarkers, including low cholesterol and its fractions, have been examined to identify suicidal behavior. Herein, we assessed serum lipid profile some proteins putatively associated with behavior in subjects mood disorder (bipolar or major depressive disorder) a recent suicide attempt no lifetime history of attempts. Fifty had presented an episode attempted during the last 15 days, 36 any attempt. We measured total cholesterol, HDL, LDL triglycerides as well leptin,...
Although inflammation may be a physiological defense process, imbalanced neuroinflammation has been associated with the pathophysiology of brain disorders, including major depression and schizophrenia. Activated glia releases variety pro-inflammatory cytokines that contribute to neuronal dysfunction. Elevated levels S100B, derived protein, have observed in serum CSF schizophrenic patients suggesting glial role disease. We evaluated whether S100B secretion (in C6 glioma cells hippocampal...
Physical exercise effects on brain health and cognitive performance have been described. Synaptic remodeling in hippocampus induced by physical has described animal models, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Changes astrocytes, glial cells involved synaptic remodeling, need more characterization. We investigated effect of moderate treadmill (20 min/day) for 4 weeks some parameters astrocytic activity rat hippocampal slices, namely, fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP),...
