| Research Abstract |
Zinc deficiency increased depression-like behavior and suppressed hippocampal neurogenesis. We propose that dietary zinc deficiency is a risk factor for depressive symptoms.
Corticosterone-mediated increase in postsynaptic Zn^<2+> signal in the cytosolic compartment was involved in the attenuation of CA1 LTP after exposure to acute stress. We propose that corticosterone-mediated increase in postsynaptic Zn^<2+> signal, which is induced by acute stress, changes hippocampal function and then is possibly a risk factor under chronic stress circumstances to induce depressive symptoms.
