Involvement of norepinephrine and serotonin system in antidepressant-like effects of oleoylethanolamide in the mice models of behavior despair
چکیده انگلیسی


• OEA, an endocannabinoid analogy, ameliorated mouse depression-like behaviors.
• FST induced the decline of cerebral levels of NE and 5-HT in mice.
• OEA may increase central monoamine neurotransmitters.

Oleoylethanolamide (OEA) is an endocannabinoid analogy that belongs to a family of endogenous acylethanolamides. Increasing evidence suggests that OEA may act as an endogenous neuroprotective factor and participate in the control of mental disorder-related behaviors. In the present study, we investigated the antidepressant- like potential of OEA in mice in comparison with clomipramine (Cp). 50 mice were randomly divided into 5 groups, and treated with a vehicle (0.3% methyl cellulose, 20 mL/kg, p.o.), OEA (2.5, 5–10 mg/kg, p.o.), or Cp (10 mg/kg, p.o.) for 7 days. The immobility was used to evaluate depressive-like behaviors in tail suspension test (TST) and forced swimming test (FST). ELISA detected changes in cerebral noradrenaline (NE) and serotonin (5-HT) levels. Likewise, in the drug-induced model of depression, OEA was given once daily at 10 mg/kg (p.o.) for 7 consecutive days. Then, the mice received reserpine (4 mg/kg, i.p.) and the rectal temperature was measured at different time points. Consequently, head twitch behavior induced by intraperitoneal injection of 5-hydroxy-tryptophan (5-HTP; 300 mg/kg) were determined. The experimental data showed that OEA (2.5–10 mg/kg) treatment significantly decreased the immobility as compared to the control group, and OEA (10 mg/kg) treatment significantly increased 5-HTP-induced head twitch behavior and reversed reserpine-induced hypothermia and increased cerebral levels of NE and 5-HT. Thus, the antidepressant effects of OEA may be related to regulating central monoamine neurotransmitters.
