Background: The clinical characteristics of major depressive disorder (MDD) in adolescents show notable gender-related differences, but the cause of these differences is still not understood. The current research concentrates on the changes in neurometabolism and neuroendocrine function, aiming to identify differences in endocrine function and brain metabolism between male and female adolescents with MDD.
Methods: A total of 121 teenagers diagnosed with MDD (43 males and 78 females) were enlisted as participants.

Biological sex affects the activity of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. However, how androgen deprivation affects this axis remains largely unknown. In this study, we investigated the effect of androgen status on different components of the HPA axis in male mice.

Objective: Multiple factors contribute to the development of perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND). This study was designed to investigate whether Histone Deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) was involved in the formation of postoperative cognitive dysfunction in elderly mice by regulating the degree of acetylation of heat shock protein (HSP90) and related protein functions and quantities.
Methods: C57BL/6 J male mice were randomly divided into six groups: control naive (group Control), anesthesia (group Anesthesia), splenectomy surgery (group Surgery), splenectomy surgery plus dissolvent (group Vehicles), splenectomy surgery plus the inhibitor ACY-1215 (group Ricolinostat), and splenectomy surgery plus the inhibitor RU-486(group Mifepristone).

Kisspeptin is an important hormone involved in the stimulation of the hypothalamo-pituitary gonadal (HPG) axis. The HPG axis can be suppressed in certain conditions such as stress, which gives rise to the activation of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. However, the physiological role of kisspeptin in the interaction of HPG and HPA axis is not fully understood yet.
