TLDR
In this paper, the role of 5-HT2 receptors in the mechanism of anti-inflammatory and antihyperalgesic action of fluoxetine after single and repeated administration of the drug was determined.Abstract:
INTRODUCTION Fluoxetine is an antidepressant that has anti-inflammatory and antihyperalgesic effects in experimental models of pain and inflammation. The AIM of the present study was to determine the role of 5-HT2 receptors in the mechanism of anti-inflammatory and antihyperalgesic action of fluoxetine after single and repeated administration of the drug. MATERIALS AND METHODS 40 male Wistar rats were randomly divided in five groups (n = 8) treated for 14 days with saline (control), diclofenac (positive control), fluoxetine, cyproheptadine (5-HT2 antagonist), and fluoxetine + cyproheptadine, respectively. We used the experimental model of inflammation induced by intraplantar injection of carrageenan and nociceptive test with mechanical pressure on the inflamed hind paw. RESULTS Single and repeated administration of fluoxetine showed that it had significant anti-inflammatory and antihyperalgesic effects when compared with the control (p < 0.05). Cyproheptadine did not change significantly the anti-inflammatory effect of fluoxetine in the first 4 hours, after a single administration. At 24 hours the combination did not differ statistically when compared with the control. Cyproheptadin did not change significantly the anti-inflammatory effect of fluoxetine after repeated administration. After prolonged treatment the group that received fluoxetine + cyproheptadine showed a statistically significant increase in paw pressure to withdraw the hind paw compared with that treated with fluoxetine alone (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Fluoxetine has anti-inflammatory and antihyperalgesic effects in the carrageenan model of inflammation. 5-HT2 receptor mediated its anti-inflammatory effect in single dose treated animals. Spinal 5-HT2 receptors are involved in the antihyperalgesic effect of fluoxetine after repeated administration.read more

TL;DR: The findings suggest a possible specific role of the KP in suicidality in depressed adolescents, while illustrating the clinical phenomenon that depressed adolescents with a history of suicide attempt are similar to acutely suicidal youth and are at increased risk for completion of suicide.

The anti-inflammatory effects of venlafaxine in the rat model of carrageenan-induced paw edema
TL;DR: Venlafaxine has potent anti-inflammatory effect which is related to the peripheral and central effects of this drug and it is shown that anti- inflammation effect of venlafxine is mediated mostly through the inhibition of IL-1β and TNF-α production and decreases MPO activity in the site of inflammation.

TL;DR: Inhibition of the activity or expression of 5-LO could suppress hippocampal inflammation, enhance synaptic plasticity, and improve learning and memory function in depressed rats.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that antidepressed models may have worse DCS outcomes, but concomitant fluoxetine treatment not only decreased DCS severity but increased the survival rate.

Animal Models of Nociception
TL;DR: It is concluded that although the neural basis of the most used tests is poorly understood, their use will be more profitable if pain is considered within, rather than apart from, the body's homeostatic mechanisms.

TL;DR: Screening for inflammatory and neurodegenerative processes in depression will allow to discover new I&ND biomarkers, both at the level of gene expression and the phenotype, and elucidate the underlying molecular I &ND pathways causing depression; identify new therapeutic targets in the I& ND pathways; develop new anti-I&ND drugs for these targets; and select existingAnti-I &ND drugs or substances that could augment the efficacy of antidepressants.

TL;DR: The present survey compares the effects of antidepressants and their principal metabolites on reuptake of biogenic amines and on receptor binding to suggest that both dopaminergic and noradrenergic components play a role and that the hydroxybupropion metabolite contributes significantly to the antidepressant activity.

TL;DR: Investigating in male Wistar rats, the involvement of serotonin (5-HT) and 5-HT receptors in the regulation of the gene expression of hypothalamic hormones and in the secretion of the pituitary gland hormones prolactin, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), vasopressin (AVP) and oxytocin in basal and stress conditions found CRH was found to have a major role but not a complete responsibility.

TL;DR: Although the predominant role of the central 5-HT system in inflammatory pain is inhibitory, its role in acute mechanical pain is facilitatory, and the analgesic actions of the SNRI duloxetine and the SSRI fluoxettine were differentially affected.
