Fluvoxamine alters the activity of energy metabolism enzymes in the brain

Abstract: Objective: Several studies support the hypothesis that metabolism impairment is involved in the pathophysiology of depression and that some antidepressants act by modulating brain energy metabolism. Thus, we evaluated the activity of Krebs cycle enzymes, the mitochondrial respiratory chain, and creatine kinase in the brain of rats subjected to prolonged administration of fluvoxamine. Methods: Wistar rats received daily administration of fluvoxamine in saline (10, 30, and 60 mg/kg) for 14 days. Twelve hours aft… Show more

“…A number of studies have shown that some antidepressants, including fluvoxamine, fluoxetine, sertraline, paroxetine, nortriptyline, and venlafaxine, alter ETC activity in mitochondria (241,264). The reduction of ROS production could explain their beneficial effects (265)(266)(267).…”

“…Hydroxybutyrate might be helpful for screening depression and predicting its progress [41]. Creatine kinase (CK) activity was reported to increase in the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, and striatum of rats, and CK levels were increased in the serum of a patient with depression after antidepressant treatment [42,43]. The normal role of CK is to catalyze the reversible transfer of the phosphoryl group from phosphocreatine to adenosine diphosphate (ADP), and through this process ATP used as energy by cells is generated [44].…”
