Imbalances in redox and neuroinflammation are believed to play a role in the complex causes of schizophrenia, a widespread mental disorder characterized by abnormal behaviour. In this regard, we investigated the effects of geraniol, a natural compound with various medicinal uses, on ketamine-induced schizophrenia-like behaviour, oxidative stress and neuroinflammation in mice. We conducted three...
A decrease in the levels of antioxidant arsenals exacerbate generation of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species, leading to neurochemical dysfunction, with significant impact on the pathogenesis of psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia. This study examined the preventive and reversal effects of diosgenin, a phyto-steroidal saponin with antioxidant functions in mice treated with ketamine which...
