Prenatal alcohol and tobacco use and the risk of depression in offspring at age of 17 years: findings from the Raine Study
2021, Journal of Affective DisordersCitation Excerpt :Increased placental vasoconstriction may result in placental and fetal hypoxia (Shamshirsaz, Paidas et al. 2012). Reports from previous studies suggested that prenatal hypoxia may results in some impairments in dopamine pathways which can persist to adulthood (Chen, Herrera-Marschitz et al. 1997). These physiological alterations may significantly affect the function of dopamine neurotransmitter (Dunlop and Nemeroff 2007) and contribute to the development of depressive symptoms in offspring.
Models of progressive neurological dysfunction originating early in life
2017, Progress in NeurobiologyCitation Excerpt :Further asphyxia affects neuronal branching (Klawitter et al., 2007; Morales et al., 2003) and synaptogenesis, leading to apoptotic-like cell death (Dell’Anna et al., 1997; Morales et al., 2010; Neira-Peña et al., 2015). A particularly interesting observation is that perinatal asphyxia induces a decrease in neurite branching of dopamine neurons (Klawitter et al., 2007; Morales et al., 2003), supporting the idea that dopamine neurons are particularly vulnerable to hypoxic insults (Chen et al., 1995, 1997; Andersson et al., 1995; Bustamante et al., 2003, 2007; see Herrera-Marschitz et al., 2011). Consistent with these results, neurite length and branching in primary hippocampal neurons from asphyxia-exposed rats are also decreased and at a synaptic level, an increase in synaptophysin and PSD-95 levels (pre- and post-synaptic proteins, respectively) was observed in perinatal asphyxia-exposed rats at PND 7, without any change in the number of synaptic contacts (Rojas-Mancilla et al., in preparation).
Pharmacological models and approaches for pathophysiological conditions associated with hypoxia and oxidative stress
2016, Pharmacology and TherapeuticsCitation Excerpt :Pyruvate accumulation leads to lactate accumulation. Lactate provides low energy levels and also leads to acidosis (Chen et al., 1997). All these changes imply partial recovery and sustained over expression of alternative metabolic pathways, prolonging the energy crisis.
