Selanzylimidazopyridine abolishes inflammation- and stress-induced depressive-like behaviors and decreases oxidonitrosative stress in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus of mice.

Abstract
The 3-[(4-methoxyphenyl)selanyl]-2-phenylimidazo[1,2-a] pyridine (MPI), a novel organic selenium compound, has been receiving increased attention due to its antioxidant effects and its ability to protect against depression-like behaviours. However, it remains elusive whether MPI is able to reverse depressive-like symptoms and biochemical alterations in mice. In the present work, we explored the ability of MPI (10 mg/kg, i.g.) to reverse inflammation- and stress-induced depression-like behaviours in mice injected with tumour necrosis factor (TNF-α) or submitted to acute restraint stress. Depression-like behaviours were evaluated by the tail suspension and splash test and the open field test was used to evaluate the locomotor activity of mice. The prefrontal cortex and hippocampus of mice were used for the evaluation of parameters of oxidonitrosative stress. Here, we showed that a single administration of MPI abolished the depressive-like behaviours induced by TNF-α and acute restraint stress without having an effect per se. The oxidative and nitrosative stress presented in mice with depression-like behaviours were also decreased by MPI in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus. Our findings suggest that MPI presents antidepressant-like activity which is associated with the biochemical regulation of oxidative stress in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus of mice, arising as a promising strategy for the management of depressive symptoms.

Abstract
Acrocomia aculeata fruits are rich in monounsaturated fatty acid, β-carotene, tocopherol, and other antioxidant compounds. The aim of our study was to investigate and compare the protective effects of A. aculeata pulp oil and microencapsulated pulp oil on brain oxidative damage induced by chronic restraint stress (CRS) in rats (cortex, hippocampus, and striatum). Thirty-six Wistar rats were divided into six treatment groups: C, P, and M groups received 1 μL/g of body weight of distilled water, pulp oil, and pulp oil microcapsules by daily gavage, respectively. The SC, SP, and SM groups received 1 μL/g of body weight of distilled water, pulp oil, and pulp oil microcapsules by daily gavage, respectively, and were then subjected to uninterrupted 6 h of CRS. After 21 days of testing, the rats were euthanized and the brain tissue of the groups was removed for evaluation for oxidative damage markers and antioxidant enzymes. Endpoints of oxidative stress (OS) markers (lipid peroxidation, protein carbonylation, and reduced glutathione [GSH]) and antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase and catalase) were evaluated. By imposing chronic stress on rats, pulp oil and microcapsules of pulp oil induced positive antioxidant responses, mainly by increasing the GSH content, increasing the ability of neural tissues to deal with inherent OS, thus protecting against neurodegenerative diseases. The administration of A. aculeata pulp oil and microencapsulated pulp oil made the reversal of the oxidant parameters, which may protect the brain tissue of rats altered by CRS. The Clinical Trial Registration number: n° 1.008/2018 CEUA/UFMS.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the anxiolytic-like effect and the possible neuronal mechanism of action of isopentyl ferulate (IF). For this purpose, we used the marble burying test in Swiss albino mice. The biomarkers involved in oxidative stress were measured in the hippocampus homogenate of the test animals. In addition, the toxicity and antioxidant capacities were tested in Artemia salina and rat erythrocytes, respectively. The results suggest that, an acute administration of the IF at doses of 25, 50, 75 and 150 mg/kg (intraperitoneal, i.p.) significantly (p < 0.05) reduced the marble burying behavior of the animals as compared to the vehicle group, which demonstrates a calming effect of this chemical. It was observed that, the pre-treatment with flumazenil (2.5 mg/kg, i.p.), an antagonist of the gamma-amino butyrinc acid (GABAA) receptor, significantly reversed the marble burying behavioral activity in the animals treated with the IF 150 mg/kg dose. Moreover, the reduction in nitrite content and lipid peroxidation levels, while an increased in the reduced glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities were also observed their hippocampus. Although, IF (2.36-14.16 mM) did not show toxicity in A. salina but exhibited a prominent antioxidant capacity in hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative damage in rat erythrocytes. In conclusion, IF exhibited an anxiety-like effect in mice along with a potent antioxidant capacity, and we suppose it may have neuroprotective effects possibly via GABAergic transmission pathway.

Abstract
Today, due to technology development and aversive events of daily life, Human exposure to both radiofrequency and stress is unavoidable. This study investigated the co-exposure to repeated restraint stress and WiFi signal on cognitive function and oxidative stress in brain of male rats. Animals were divided into four groups: Control, WiFi-exposed, restrained and both WiFi-exposed and restrained groups. Each of WiFi exposure and restraint stress occurred 2 h (h)/day during 20 days. Subsequently, various tests were carried out for each group, such as anxiety in elevated plus maze, spatial learning abilities in the water maze, cerebral oxidative stress response and cholinesterase activity in brain and serum. Results showed that WiFi exposure and restraint stress, alone and especially if combined, induced an anxiety-like behavior without impairing spatial learning and memory abilities in rats. At cerebral level, we found an oxidative stress response triggered by WiFi and restraint, per se and especially when combined as well as WiFi-induced increase in acetylcholinesterase activity. Our results reveal that there is an impact of WiFi signal and restraint stress on the brain and cognitive processes especially in elevated plus maze task. In contrast, there are no synergistic effects between WiFi signal and restraint stress on the brain.

Abstract
Immobilization induces oxidative damage to the brain. Ilex paraguariensis extracts (Mate) and their major natural compound, chlorogenic acid (CGA), exert protective effects against reactive oxygen species formation. Here, the effects of Mate and CGA on oxidative damage induced by chronic immobilization stress (CIS) in the cortex, hippocampus, and striatum were investigated. For CIS, animals were immobilized for 6 h every day for 21 consecutive days. Rats received Mate or CGA by intragastric gavage 30 min before every restraint session. Endpoints of oxidative stress (levels of lipid peroxidation, protein carbonylation, and reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) forms of glutathione) were evaluated following CIS. While CIS increased oxidized lipid and carbonyl levels in all brain regions, CGA (and Mate to a lesser extent) attenuated lipid and protein oxidation as compared with control groups. GSH/GSSG balance showed a tendency to increase in all regions in response to stress and antioxidants. Taken together, our results support a protective role of dietary antioxidants against the neuronal consequences of stress.

Abstract
The brain is a very susceptible organ to structural and functional alterations caused by oxidative stress and its vulnerability increases with age. Understanding the antioxidant response activated by the transcription factor Nrf2 has become very important in the aging field in order to activate cellular protection. However, the role of Nrf2 inducers during old age has not been completely understood. Our aim was to activate the Nrf2 pathway by pre-treating old rats with a widely used Nrf2-inducer, tert-buthylhydroquinone (tBHQ), prior to 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NP) insult, in order to evaluate its effects at a behavioral, morphological and biochemical levels. 3-NP has been used to reproduce the biochemical and pathophysiological characteristics of Huntington's disease due to an oxidative effect. Our results suggest that tBHQ confers an important protective effect against 3-NP toxicity; nevertheless, Nrf2 seems not to be the main protective pathway associated to neuroprotection. Hormetic responses include the activation of more than one transcription factor. Nrf2 and NFκB are known to simultaneously initiate different cellular responses against stress by triggering parallel mechanisms, therefore NFκB nuclear accumulation was also evaluated. Old rats are able to activate an hormetic response against 3NP toxicity. tBHQ pre-conditioning exerts an antioxidant-prooxidant, dual role in old rats. tBHQ activates a crosstalk mechanism between NFκB and Nrf2.
