| Subject: Ketamine Combats Depression via Unique Molecular Mechanisms Sun Dec 20, 2020 8:28 pm | |
| The “on/off” switch that unlocks ketamine’s antidepressant effects.
A new study by Canadian researchers brings us one step closer to understanding the antidepressant effects of ketamine in sub-anesthetic doses. In mice, the researchers identified how two multi-functional protein groups called 4E-BP1 and 4E-BP2 (i.e., 4E-BPs) may facilitate rapidly-acting molecular mechanisms that are key to ketamine's ability to combat depression. These findings (Aguilar-Valles, De Gregorio, Matta-Camacho, et al., 2020) were published on December 16 in the journal Nature.
