Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Western blot analysis revealed significant reduction in Striatal GSK-3α/β in DSP model rats compared with that in non DSP and controls, while there were no statistically significant difference in AKT, pGSK-3β. On the other hand, glutamatergic signaling is relatively decreased to GABA in DSP rats. Our results also showed that excessive doses of haloperidol can induce striatal NMDAR hypofunction in non-DSP rats, which could prevent the formation of tardive dyskinesia but cause treatment resistance. In view of the need for therapeutic strategies for treatment-resistant schizophrenia, further research exploring our present findings is necessary.
