Based on the results of our investigation of patients with anxious depression under the treatment with serotonergic antidepressants with different mechanism of action on serotonin reuptake we, the first time in the literature, propose the hypothesis about neurochemical mechanism of tianeptine action. According to this hypothesis tianeptine not only activates serotonin reuptake into the synaptic ending but also activates its release from the ending into the synaptic cleft thus accelerating serotonin turnover rate in the synapse. Proposed mechanism mainly refers the first, acute phase of its action directed to the normalization of serotonergic neurotransmission.

Background And Aim: (CM) and (AM) are medicinal mushrooms with potential applications in the treatment of mood disorders, including depression and anxiety. While research suggests that both CM and AM possess anti-inflammatory properties and hold potential for treating depression when administered separately, there is limited knowledge about their efficacy when combined in a formula, as well as the underlying mechanism involving the modulation of microglia.
Experimental Procedure: Rats received oral administrations of the low-dose formulation, medium-dose formulation, and high-dose formulation over 28 consecutive days as part of the UCMS protocols.

Introduction: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as fluoxetine adversely affect bone mineral density (BMD) and turnover, thereby increasing the risk of fractures. The objective of the present systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate studies on animal models that assessed whether fluoxetine can influence orthodontic tooth movement (OTM).
Material And Methods: Indexed databases (PubMed/Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Scopus and ISI Web of Knowledge) and Google Scholar were searched without time and language barriers up to and including June 2024.

Preening cups are a semi-open water source for Pekin duck enrichment. To evaluate the ducks' affective state, we combined measuring welfare by walking a transect in the barn with mass spectrometry and qRT-PCR to measure brain neurotransmitter levels and gene expression for serotonin (5-HT) and dopamine (DA) synthesis and metabolism. 5-HT and DA have been established as indicators of mental state and emotions.

Previous studies from our lab suggest that transportation of early adulthood ducks can have long lasting physiological effects. To better understand how transportation affects the ducks' physiology, we evaluated several central and peripheral parameters. Thirty-six, 23-week-old ducks were collected at a commercial breeder facility and randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups (n = 6/sex/treatment): 1) caught and euthanized (control), 2) caught and put in a crated in the pen for 90 min (crate), or 3) caught, crated, and transported in a truck for 90 min (transport) to simulate actual transportation.
