Brain-derived neurotrophic factor modulation in response to oxidative stress an...
Correia, Ana Salomé; Torrado, Marília; Costa-Coelho, Tiago; Carvalho, Eva Daniela; Inteiro-Oliveira, Sara; Diógenes, Maria José; Pêgo, Ana PaulaMajor Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a very complex disease, challenging to study and manage. The complexities of MDD require extensive research of its mechanisms to develop more effective therapeutic approaches. Crucial in the context of this disease is the role of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling pathway. Aim: This manuscript aims to explore the complex relationship between MDD and BDNF signal...
Cell Model of Depression: Reduction of Cell Stress with Mirtazapine
Correia, Ana Salomé; Fraga, Sónia; Teixeira, João Paulo; Vale, NunoDepression is a very prevalent and complex disease. This condition is associated with a high rate of relapse, making its treatment a challenge. Thus, an intensive investigation of this disease and its treatment is necessary. In this work, through cell viability assays (MTT and neutral red assays) and alkaline comet assays, we aimed to test the induction of stress in human SH-SY5Y cells through the application o...
Serotonin after β-Adrenoreceptors’ Exposition: New Approaches for Personalized ...
Correia, Ana Salomé; Duarte, Diana; Silva, Isabel; REGUENGO, HENRIQUE; Oliveira, José Carlos; Vale, NunoSerotonin is an important monoamine in the human body, playing crucial roles, such as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Previously, our group reported that β-adrenergic drugs (ICI 118,551, isoprenaline, and propranolol) influence the proliferation of breast cancer cells (MCF-7 cells) and their inherent production of adrenaline. Thus, we aimed to investigate the production of serotonin in MCF-7 c...
