A study reveals that Prozac (fluoxetine) not only increases serotonin but also enhances brain plasticity by loosening rigid neural circuits, reducing mitochondrial energy gene expression, and weakening protective nets around neurons, potentially aiding depression recovery.
A meta-analysis of gene expression data reveals that immune pathways, especially toll-like receptor signaling, and neuroplasticity mechanisms play key roles in determining why some individuals respond better to the antidepressant fluoxetine, highlighting the biological complexity and potential for personalized treatment approaches.
A study on rats reveals that antidepressants like fluoxetine have significant long-term effects on male brains, causing behavioral and neuronal changes, while female brains remain unaffected, highlighting the importance of considering age and gender in treatment approaches.
