| Research Abstract |
The involvement of reactive oxygen species(ROS) in anxiety and mood disorders has been reported ; however, the source of ROS in the nervous system has not been identified. NADPH oxidase is a superoxide-generating enzyme composed of multiple subunits including a membrane-spanning catalytic subunit, NOX. ROS derived from NOX1/NADPH oxidase, which possess a newly identified catalytic subunit, appear to play a key role in stress-induced anxiety and depressive-like behaviors, possibly by regulating activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and decrease in BDNF level.
