Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we investigated the common pathophysiology of alcohol-induced brain damage and mood disorders, focusing on the functional alteration of platelet and neural stem cell. We examine the effects of ethanol and antidepressants on the platelet BDNF release. Ethanol suppressed platelet BDNF release and the promotive effect of antidepressant on BDNF release. Furthermore, we investigated the transfer of BDNF derived from serum (or platelet) to the brain using fluorescent-labeled BDNF. We have detected BDNF-FITC in the cells at dentate gyrus in the hippocampus in which adult neurogenesis occurs.
