Abstract

Activation of microglia is a hallmark of neuroinflammation and has been implicated in the development of many psychiatric disorders. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S); a gasotransmitter has recently emerged as a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory molecule. However, the protective potential of H2S and its underpin molecular mechanisms in neuroinflammation associated behavioral deficits are still unknown. The present study has been designed to investigate the effect of sodium hydrogen sulfide (NaHS; a source of H2S) on microglial activation and associated behavior phenotype in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced neuroinflammation. LPS treatment decreased H2S levels with a concomitant increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the cortex and hippocampus. However, NaHS administration restored the endogenous H2S levels to the normal and decreased ROS levels. NaHS supplementation reduced the number of active microglia in the cortex and hippocampus of LPS treated animals. Morphological analysis of microglia showed significant increase in microglial density, span ratio and soma area in the cortex and hippocampus of LPS treated animals which was decreased by NaHS supplementation. Moreover, NaHS administration reduced the expressio...Continue Reading

Anti-inflammatory Treatments

A drug or substance that reduces inflammation (redness, swelling, and pain) in the body. Anti-inflammatory agents block certain substances in the body that cause inflammation and swelling. Discover the latest research on anti-inflammatory treatments here
