Expression of monoamine transporters, nitric oxide synthase 3 and neurotrophin genes in antidepressant-stimulated astrocytes

Expression of monoamine transporters, nitric oxide synthase 3 and neurotrophin genes in antidepressant-stimulated astrocytes

Background: There is increasing evidence that glial cells play a role in the pathomechanisms of mood disorders and the mode of action of antidepressant drugs. Methods: To examine whether there is a direct effect on the expression of different genes encoding proteins that have been implicated in the...
