1 Involvement of PI3K, GSK-3beta and PPARgamma in the antidepressant-like effect of folic acid in the forced swimming test in mice. Folic Acid peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma Mus musculus
2 pre-treatment of mice with LY294002 (10 nmol/site, a PI3K inhibitor) or GW-9662 (1 microg/site, a PPARgamma antagonist) prevented the antidepressant-like effect of folic acid (50 mg/kg, p.o.) Folic Acid peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma Mus musculus
3 These results indicate that the antidepressant-like effect of folic acid in the FST might be dependent on inhibition of GSK-3beta and activation of PPARgamma, reinforcing the notion that these are important targets for antidepressant activity. Folic Acid peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma Mus musculus
