These data indicate decreased antioxidant status in the face of enhanced free radical activity, and suggest potential therapeutic strategies involving antioxidant repletion.
Augmentation of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) therapy by the 5-HTThe antidepressant effect of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) is thought to be mediated by enhanced serotonin (5-HT) transmission. However, initial exposure to SSRIs is associated with no change or even a decrease in extracellular 5-HT levels in the terminal fields of the forebrain (Chaput et al. 1986;Invernizzi et al. 1992;
Plasma antioxidant potential is initially decreased in patients with sepsis who develop organ dysfunction, and it increases over time. While we have no clear evidence to prove that this reduction has a causal relationship, failure to achieve a normal plasma antioxidant potential is strongly associated with an unfavorable outcome.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
