چکیده

Depresyon bir stresle veya hayvan modellerinde oldu ğu gibi öğrenilmiş çaresizlikle meydana gelir ve sürer. Stres beyinde norepinefrin (NE) sekresyonunu artt ırır, buna ikincil ola,* beta adreneıjik reseptörlerde down regülasyon olur. Strese ikincil, NE sekresyonunun art ışı ayn ı zamanda NE depresyonuna da yol açar. Aksiyon potansiyeli sinaptik aralığa ulaştığında hücre içine kalsiyum iyonlarının girişinde bir artışı neden olur. Böylece PLA-2'nin aracılık ettiği sinaptik kesecikler presinaptik membranda birle şir ve sinaptik aralığa nörotransmitte rler (NE, 5,HT vb.)'in sal ın ım ına yol açılır. Bu çalışmada aşırı PLA-2 aktivitesinin 5-HT ve NE depolar ın ı boşaltarak (deplete) predispoze kişilerde (genetik geçişle ?) depresyona yol açabilecği varsayıldı . Bu çalışmada DSM-III-R ölçütleri ve Hamilton Depresyon Ölçe ği (HDRS)'e göre depresyon (major depresyon veya distimi) tan ısı konulmu ş ve daha önce hiç tedavi görmemi ş 72 yatan erkek hasta araştırıldı . Kan PLA-2, kortizol, IgA, IgM, östradiol, progesteron, HDL/LDL kolesterol ve 24 saatlik idrarda 5-HIAA düzeyleri tedavi öncesi ve sonras ı belirlendi. 6 haftalık tedavi boyunca hastaların depresyon düzeyleri her hafta HDRS ile saptand ı . Kullan ı lan iki antidepreson (imipramine ve fluvoxamine ile HDRS puanlar ındaki azalma ve PLA-2 aktivitesindeki dü şüş arasında pozitif bir korelasyon bulundu.

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) causes hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, and dyslipidemia, which are all risk factors for atherosclerosis. Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) has been recognized as an indicator of atherosclerosis due to its role in vessel inflammation. This study aimed to investigate the effect of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on serum levels of Lp-PL...

Introduction: In a serious brain disorder like Alzheimer's disease, the levels of acetylcholine (Ach) drop significantly. The gradual death of cholinergic brain cells leads to a profound loss of memory and learning ability. Acetylcholine is the chemical messenger that sends messages from one neuron to another in the area of the brain used for memory. Many of the current medications act to enhan...

Measurement of Lipoprotein-Associated Phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) in the Assessment of Cardiovascular Risk - 082616

I. Description Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2), also known as platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase, is an enzyme that hydrolyzes phospholipids and is primarily associated with low-density lipoproteins (LDLs). Accumulating evidence has suggested that Lp-PLA2 is a biomarker of coronary artery disease (CAD) and may have a proinflammatory role in the progression of atheroscl...
