Trans-astaxanthin, imipramine hydrochloride, p-chlorophenylalanine HCl (PCPA, an inhibitor of serotonin synthesis), apomorphine hydrochloride, kynuramine dihydrobromide, 4-hydroxyquinoline, clorgyline, deprenyl, 5-hydroxytryptamine, noradrenaline, dopamine, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) and 4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) were purchased from Sigma Chemical Co. (USA). Moclobemide hydrochloride and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose were provided by Beijing Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology (China). For oral administration (via gavage, i.g.), Trans-astaxanthin was dissolved in 0.5% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and moclobemide was dissolved in redistilled water. For intraperitoneal injection, imipramine and fluoxetine were dissolved in redistilled water. In acute experiments, the behavioral and neurochemical tests were conducted 1 h after Trans-astaxanthin (20, 40, 80 mg/kg, i.g.) treatment [37 (link)]. The effects of positive antidepressants such as moclobemide (20 mg/kg, i.g.), imipramine (10 mg/kg, i.p.) and fluoxetine (10 mg/kg, i.p.) were tested 1 h (meclobemide) and 30 min (imipramine and fluoxetine) respectively, after administration of the drugs as previously described [20 (link), 38 ].

Monoamines were assayed via high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection (HPLC-ECD). Frozen tissues were weighed, thawed, and sonicated in appropriate volumes of 0.1 N perchloric acid (Fisher Scientific, Pittsburgh, PA). Samples were centrifuged for 14 min at 13,000 RCF at 4°C. The supernatant sample was transferred to a new vial for injection on a Supelco Supelcosil LC-18 column (150 × 4.6 mm, 3 μm; Sigma-Aldrich Co., St. Louis, MO). The HPLC system consisted of a Waters 717 plus autosampler (Waters Corp., Milford, MA), ESA 584 pump, and Coulochem III electrochemical detector. The potential settings were −150 mV for E1 and +250 mV for E2, with a guard cell potential set at +350 mV. MD-TM mobile phase (ESA, Inc.) was used and consisted of 75 mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate (monohydrate), 1.7 mM 1-octanesulfonic acid sodium salt, 100 μl/l triethylamine, 25 μM EDTA, and 10% acetonitrile, with a final pH of 3.0. The pump flow rate was set at 0.7 ml/min, and the samples were run at 28°C. Standards for DA, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC), homovanillic acid (HVA), norepinephrine (NE), 5-HT, and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) (all obtained from Sigma-Aldrich Co., St. Louis, MO) were prepared in 0.1 N perchloric acid. All neurotransmitters were run on a single chromatogram.

Resveratrol, fluoxetine, diazepam, (±)-8-Hydroxy-2-(dipropylamino) tetralin hydrobromide (8-OH-DPAT, a 5-HT1A receptor agonist), 5-HT and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). NAN-190 hydrobromide (NAN-190, a 5-HT1A receptor antagonist) was obtained from Tocris Bioscience (Ellisville, MO, USA).
All drugs were dissolved in saline and diluted to desired concentration on the day of testing except Resveratrol that was dissolved in 0.5% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-Na). Resveratrol was administered by gavage (i.g.) at doses of 10, 20 and 40 mg/kg with a volume of 5 ml/kg body weight, 50 min before CACS procedure. fluoxetine (10 mg/kg), diazepam (1 mg/kg), 8-OH-DPAT (0.5 mg/kg) and NAN-190 hydrobromide (0.1 mg/kg) were injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) in a volume of 1 ml/kg. fluoxetine and diazepam were administered 30 min before CACS procedure. For co-administered with Resveratrol, the 5-HT1A receptor agonist and antagonist (8-OH-DPAT and NAN-190) were injected 15 min before Resveratrol administration. All the behavioral tests started 24 h after last drug treatment (Figure 1B).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
