Chrysin modulates the BDNF/TrkB/AKT/Creb neuroplasticity signaling pathway: Acting in the improvement of cognitive flexibility and declarative, working and aversive memory deficits caused by hypothyroidism in C57BL/6 female mice.

Hypothyroidism is known to affect memory consolidation, and our prior research highlighted the potential of chrysin as a therapeutic agent to restore cognitive function. The present study aimed to investigate the action mechanism of chrysin on memory deficits in hypothyroid in C57BL/6 female mice. We assessed cognitive flexibility, declarative, working, and aversive memories while analyzing the BDNF/TrkB/AKT/Creb neuroplasticity signaling pathway and synaptic function in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex.

Antimicrobial Effect of Diphenyl Ditelluride (PhTe) in a Model of Infection by in .

Diphenyl ditelluride (PhTe), an organotelluric compound with pharmacological and toxicological attributes, has shown promise in microorganism studies. , an alternative animal model, is gaining popularity for novel antimicrobial research due to its cost-effectiveness, versatility, and similarity to vertebrate models. Given the rising antibiotic resistance, particularly in (), the exploration of novel antimicrobials is of utmost importance.

Chrysin restores memory deficit in hypothyroidism mice: Behavioral, neurochemical and computational approaches involving the neurotrophinergic system.

Hypothyroidism is a condition that affects multiple systems, including the central nervous system, causing, for example, cognitive deficits closely related to Alzheimer's disease. The flavonoid chrysin is a natural compound associated with neuronal improvement in several experimental models. Here, we evaluated the effect of chrysin on cognitive impairment in hypothyroid female mice by exploring neuroplasticity.

Iron overload during the embryonic period develops hyperactive like behavior and dysregulation of biogenic amines in Drosophila melanogaster.

Iron (Fe) is used in various cellular functions, and a constant balance between its uptake, transport, storage, and use is necessary to maintain its homeostasis in the body. Changes in Fe metabolism with a consequent overload of this metal are related to neurological changes and cover a broad spectrum of diseases, mainly when these changes occur during the embryonic period. This work aimed to evaluate the effect of exposure to Fe overload during the embryonic period of Drosophila melanogaster.

Exercise associated with γ-oryzanol supplementation suppresses oxidative stress and prevents changes in locomotion in .

Association to early mortality and sedentarism was already demonstrated in the literature; nevertheless, some possible biochemical mechanisms around physical inactivity still need answers. The use of an invertebrate model, such as , can reproduce reliable responses in inducing an exercise protocol with exogenous antioxidant supplementation. This study main evaluates the effect of exercise (EXE) associated with γ-oryzanol (ORY) supplementation to improve locomotor behavior, antioxidant defenses, and survival in .

γ-Oryzanol produces an antidepressant-like effect in a chronic unpredictable mild stress model of depression in .

Chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) is a valid model for inducing depression-like symptoms in animal models, causing predictive behavioral, neurochemical, and physiological responses to this condition. This work aims to evaluate the possible antidepressant effect of γ-oryzanol (ORY) in the CUMS-induced depressive model in male . We will use the CUMS protocol to continue the study previously conducted by our research group, mimicking a depressive state in these insects.

Modulation of glutamate levels and Na,K-ATPase activity contributes to the chrysin memory recovery in hypothyroidism mice.

Abnormalities in the thyroid hormones, like in hypothyroidism, are closely related to dementia and Alzheimer's disease demonstrating the main symptom of these disorders: memory deficit. In this study we evaluated the effect of chrysin on deficit spatial and aversive memories and the contribution of glutamatergic, cholinergic pathways and Na, K-ATPase activity on hippocampus and prefrontal cortex in hypothyroid adult female mice C57BL/6. Hypothyroidism was induced by the continuous exposure to 0.

7-chloro-4-(phenylselanyl) quinoline prevents dopamine depletion in a Drosophila melanogaster model of Parkinson's-like disease.

Neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease appears to be caused by multiple factors, including oxidative damage and an increase in acetylcholinesterase expression that can culminate in loss of dopaminergic neurons. A selenium-containing quinoline derivative, 7-chloro-4-(phenylselanyl) quinoline (4-PSQ), shows important pharmacological actions mainly attributed to its antioxidant and anticholinesterase properties. Thus, this study investigated the neuroprotective effect of 4-PSQ in a model of Parkinson's-like disease induced by rotenone (ROT) in Drosophila melanogaster and verified whether these effects are related to selenium levels.

Chronic unpredictable mild stress-induced depressive-like behavior and dysregulation of brain levels of biogenic amines in Drosophila melanogaster.

The etiopathogenesis of depression may involve repeated exposure to several unpredictable stressors. This study was conducted to investigate changes induced by chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) and to assess behavioral and neurochemical changes that predict depressive-like behavior in Drosophila melanogaster. Male Drosophila melanogaster flies were exposed to CUMS with several stressors (cold, heat, starvation, and sleep deprivation) in an unpredictable and chronic manner for ten days.

Chrysin reverses the depressive-like behavior induced by hypothyroidism in female mice by regulating hippocampal serotonin and dopamine.

Hypothyroidism is often associated with psychiatric disorders such as depression. In this study, we evaluated the effect of chrysin on depressive-like behavior and monoamine levels in hypothyroid female mice. Hypothyroidism was induced by continuous exposure to 0.
