Journal ArticleDOI

Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of zinc. Zinc-dependent NF-κB signaling

TL;DR: In vitro studies have shown that zinc decreases NF-κB activation and its target genes, such as TNF-α and IL-1β, and increases the gene expression of A20 and PPAR-α, the two zinc finger proteins with anti-inflammatory properties.
Journal ArticleDOI

Essential elements in depression and anxiety. Part I

TL;DR: Copper, selenium, manganese, iodine and vanadium are focused on in the context of enzymes which require these elements as co-factors and are involved in the underlying pathophysiology of these disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

GPR39 (Zinc Receptor) Knockout Mice Exhibit Depression-Like Behavior and CREB/BDNF Down-Regulation in the Hippocampus

TL;DR: The results of this study indicate the involvement of the GPR39 Zn2+-sensing receptor in the pathophysiology of depression with component of anxiety and does not support a role of G PR39 in hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Zinc deficiency induces behavioral alterations in the tail suspension test in mice. Effect of antidepressants.

TL;DR: The antidepressant-like effect of imipramine and escitalopram was significantly reduced in zinc-deprived mice, which suggests treatment-resistance induced by zinc deprivation, and indicates the developing response to zinc deficiency induced by a zinc-deficient diet.
Journal ArticleDOI

The involvement of the GPR39-Zn(2+)-sensing receptor in the pathophysiology of depression. Studies in rodent models and suicide victims.

TL;DR: Down-regulation of CREB, BDNF, TrkB and GPR39 receptor found under zinc-deficient conditions in the hippocampus, may play an important role in the pathophysiology of mood disorders, since most of patients suffering from depression show lower serum zinc.
