Abstract:Objective
We determined whether the pathogenesis of perimenopausal depression (PMD) is associated with allopregnanolone (3α,5α-THP, ALLO) mediated GABAA receptors subunits expression changes in different brain regions. Simultaneously, we aimed to investigate the therapeutic efficacy and intervention mechanisms of the flavonoid rutin in treating PMD.
Methods
The PMD rat model was established by ovariectomy surgery followed by chronic unpredictable mirutin stress processes. ALLO was administered via intraperit… Show more
