Journal ArticleDOI

Curcumin reverses the effects of chronic stress on behavior, the HPA axis, BDNF expression and phosphorylation of CREB.

TL;DR: The results provide compelling evidence that the behavioral effects of curcumin in chronically stressed animals, and by extension humans, may be related to their modulating effects on the HPA axis and neurotrophin factor expressions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Curcumin reverses impaired hippocampal neurogenesis and increases serotonin receptor 1A mRNA and brain-derived neurotrophic factor expression in chronically stressed rats.

TL;DR: The results suggested that curcumin administration increased hippocampal neurogenesis in chronically stressed rats, similar to classic antidepressant imipramine treatment, and demonstrated that these new cells mature and become neurons, as determined by triple labeling for BrdU and neuronal- or glial-specific markers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antidepressant effects of curcumin in the forced swim test and olfactory bulbectomy models of depression in rats

TL;DR: The results confirm the antidepressant effects of curcumin in the forced swim and the OB models of depression in rats, and suggest that these antidepressant effects may be mediated by actions in the central monoaminergic neurotransmitter systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effects of curcumin on depressive-like behaviors in mice.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the antidepressant-like effects of curcumin may involve the central monoaminergic neurotransmitter systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antidepressant-like effect of low molecular proanthocyanidin in mice: involvement of monoaminergic system.

TL;DR: The results suggested that oral administration proanthocyanidin at doses of 25 and 50mg/kg for 7days significantly reduced the duration of immobility in both the tail suspension and forced swimming tests, and suggest that the antidepressant-like effects of proanthopyridine may involve the central monoaminergic neurotransmitter systems.
