Abstract
In recent decades, the fast-paced nature of life and increased social and professional competition have led to a notable rise in depression rates. This condition profoundly impacts individuals’ quality of life and overall well-being. Simultaneously, the characteristics of modern society, along with numerous environmental stressors and dietary habits, have contributed to the escalating prevalence of obesity and other metabolic disorders. Obesity and depression, two pressing issues in modern medicine, may initially appear unrelated as one is a metabolic condition and the other a mental health disorder. However, they are intricately intertwined: evidence suggests that individuals with obesity are more susceptible to experiencing depression, and vice versa. This review highlights the link between obesity and depression on a molecular and neurochemical level.
期刊介绍:
Neurochemical Journal (Neirokhimiya) provides a source for the communication of the latest findings in all areas of contemporary neurochemistry and other fields of relevance (including molecular biology, biochemistry, physiology, neuroimmunology, pharmacology) in an afford to expand our understanding of the functions of the nervous system. The journal presents papers on functional neurochemistry, nervous system receptors, neurotransmitters, myelin, chromaffin granules and other components of the nervous system, as well as neurophysiological and clinical aspects, behavioral reactions, etc. Relevant topics include structure and function of the nervous system proteins, neuropeptides, nucleic acids, nucleotides, lipids, and other biologically active components.
The journal is devoted to the rapid publication of regular papers containing the results of original research, reviews highlighting major developments in neurochemistry, short communications, new experimental studies that use neurochemical methodology, descriptions of new methods of value for neurochemistry, theoretical material suggesting novel principles and approaches to neurochemical problems, presentations of new hypotheses and significant findings, discussions, chronicles of congresses, meetings, and conferences with short presentations of the most sensational and timely reports, information on the activity of the Russian and International Neurochemical Societies, as well as advertisements of reagents and equipment.
