The role of 5-HT1A receptors in fish oil-mediated increased BDNF expression in the rat hippocampus and cortex: A possible antidepressant mechanism

TL;DR: The occurrence of a reciprocal involvement of 5-HT(1A) receptors activation and the hippocampal BDNF-increased expression mediated by fish oil supplementation is suggested, corroborate and expand the notion that supplementation with ω-3 PUFA produces antidepressant effects mediated by an increase in serotonergic neurotransmission, particularly in the hippocampus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Does Parkinson’s Disease and Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus Present Common Pathophysiological Mechanisms and Treatments?

TL;DR: It is described that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ, ATP-sensitive K(+) channels, AMP-activated protein kinase, glucagon-like peptide-1 and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 are important therapeutic targets for PD and reinforces the association with diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Olfactory impairment in the rotenone model of Parkinson's disease is associated with bulbar dopaminergic D2 activity after REM sleep deprivation

TL;DR: The present evidence reinforce the idea that DA produced by periglomerular neurons, particularly the bulbar dopaminergic D2 receptors, is an essential participant in olfactory discrimination processes, as the SNpc, and the striatum.
Journal ArticleDOI

REM Sleep Deprivation Reverses Neurochemical and Other Depressive-Like Alterations Induced by Olfactory Bulbectomy

TL;DR: It is suggested that the neurochemical complexity inflicted by the OBX model, counteracted by REMSD, is directly correlated to the nigral BDNF expression and hippocampal 5-HT levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unraveling a new circuitry for sleep regulation in Parkinson's disease.

TL;DR: A new circuitry for sleep regulation in Parkinson's disease, involving the triad composed by pedunculopontine nucleus, substantia nigra pars compacta and striatum is suggested, evidencing a potential therapeutic target for the sleep disturbances associated to this pathology.
