Is recovery from major depression associated with normalization of serotonergic function?
This is the first investigation to compare men and women with a history of depression but not depressed at the time of the fenfluramine challenge to a similar group of healthy controls. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that central serotonergic activity is persistently disturbed in adults who experience depressive episodes.
The antiinflammatory properties of propofol that may be linked to its effect on gamma-T levels could be relevant in controlling the inflammatory response that accompanies tissue injury during reperfusion.
