Histopathological effect of fluoxetine drug on the brain of pregnant mice and their embryos

Abstract: The present study was designed to identify the histopathological effect of fluoxetine (fluoxetine hydrochloride) on the pregnant mice brain and their fetuses as well as recording weight changes at doses of 60 and 80 mg/kg of body weight which were administrated to the pregnant mice from the 7 th up to the 18 th day of pregnancy and once a day. The results showed histopathological lesions in the adult pregnant mice brain at the dose of 60 mg/kg. induced massive necrotic area of neurons in the cerebral cortex, n… Show more

“…However, MDA, aspartate aminotransferase, and alanine aminotransferase were all dramatically reduced (22). The histopathological studies are represented by tissue slices of mice aorta at the end of the study to further confirm the outcome (18,23). Fatty diet has induced atherosclerotic changes compared to the control group on a regular diet.…”

“…With the involvement of cytochrome P-450, electrophilic intermediates metabolite have produced that bind covalently to macromolecules of the cell which disturb mitochondrial and nuclear roles triggering the development of ROS and protein oxidation (14). The body's inability to remove the ROS promptly via the antioxidant mechanism lead to oxidative stress (15). ROS are considered to be responsible for destroying the membrane of the mitochondria and releasing Cyt C (16).…”

“…Acetaminophen is capable to activate the neuronal CYP2E1 thus producing toxic substances during metabolism as NAPQI (that decrease the level of glutathione and causing neurotoxicity and oxidative stress) (1), besides that, acetaminophen with overdose decreased the levels of anti-oxidants like glutathione, ascorbic acid with a relation to a significant reduction in the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD). The important over creation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in brain and the imbalance between oxidative stress and antioxidants are related with pathologic alterations neurodegenerative disorders (4,(28)(29)(30).…”
