Psilocybin, a psychedelic drug with reported anxiolytic and antidepressant potential, is rapidly metabolized to its active metabolite psilocin. However, a lack of adequate toxicity studies and tissue distribution studies currently restricts its development and application. This study combined behavioral assays in zebrafish with desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry imaging...
Background: Depression is a common complication of Parkinson disease (PD). This study investigated whether a single dose of esketamine could alleviate depressive symptoms in an MPTP mouse model by activating G protein-coupled receptor 109 A (GPR109A) and reducing neuroinflammation. Methods: Adult male C57BL/6 J mice (8 weeks, 25–30 g) were allocated into three groups: saline,...
