 Objective: Tuberoinfundibular peptide of 39 (TIP39) is a potent agonist to the parathyroid hormone 2 receptor (PTH2R) abundantly expressed in brain. The current study focused to evaluate the role of TIP39 in acute restraint stress (ARS)-induced depression model.Methods: Rats were exposed to ARS for 2 h to establish the depression and then subjected to open field and forced swim test (OFT and FST). TIP39 (1 and 10 nmol/rat) and HYWH (1 nmol/rat) are a PTH2R antagonist which was infused through intracerebroventricular route. Diazepam (2 mg/kg, i.p) was utilized as reference standard.Results: The results depict ARS significantly diminished the TIP39 expression in cerebral regions and causes depression-like behavior. TIP39 significantly decreased the immobility period in FST. In the OFT, TIP39 significantly increased the ambulatory activity and did not alter the rearing and grooming activity in comparison to ARS group. After TIP39 treatment, plasma noradrenaline levels were significantly increased, whereas the serotonin levels were unaltered. The corticosterone levels also decreased significantly. In rat brain tissues, TIP39 significantly reversed the abnormalities in glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) level by ARS induction. In contrast, HYWH-treated rats did not show any significant variations in the neurochemical and behavioral parameters in comparison to ARS rats.Conclusion: Our reports submitted that the primary evidence depicting the stimulation of TIP39 expression could modulate the monoaminergic, GABAergic, and glutaminergic release with the support of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis that can be produced an antidepressant-like effect evident with the interactive study.

Objective: The present study is undertaken to study the ameliorative effects of ethanolic extract of Mimosa pudica root (EMPR) on stress-induced anxiety and depressive-like behavior in Swiss albino mice.Methods: The animals were subjected to acute restraint stress (ARS) for 7 days, and on the 8th day after drugs administration, the antianxiety effect was evaluated using elevated plus maze (EPM) test. Antidepressant activity was evaluated by animal despair models-forced swim test and tail suspension test. Phytochemical analysis of the extract was also conducted.Results: EMPR (1000 and 2000 mg/kg) and the combined test groups have shown significant antianxiety effects similar to the standard diazepam as indicated by an improved open arm exploratory behavior in EPM model. EMPR also significantly reduced the immobility time in the animal despair models tested.Conclusion: Results suggest that EMPR possesses significant anxiolytic and antidepressant activity in male Swiss albino mice.

ABSTRACT History and objective The aim of this study was to study the anxiolytic effects of Ocimum sanctum stress-induced anxiety. Materials and methods The study was carried out using male albino rats (200 ± 50 gm), male albino mice (25 ± 100) the effect of O. sanctum evaluated for anxiety and depression using forced swim test FST and rotarod test. Results Restraint stress (3 hours/day for six consecutive days) induced a significant reduction. It was significantly decreases the mobility period during stress. The standard deviation values are 14.4 and 9.26 and is statistically significant (p = 0.001). In rotarod test, (a) increased latency and (b) decreased ambulation and rearing were also reversed by O. sanctum. A significant increase in immobility period was observed in FST and TST after restraint stress. O. sanctum and C. sinensis significantly reduced the immobility times of rats in FST and TST. Conclusion Ocimum sanctum possess significant antistress activity but the magnitude and efficacy for relieving stress is less, when compare to standard anxiolytic agent, i.e. Alprazolam.
