Abstract
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is an effective treatment method for depression therapy. It produces a number of biological effects, including neurotrophic factors regulation. In the present paper, we investigated the ECT response in depressed rats subjected to the variable frequency ultrasound (20-45 kHz) and examined the contribution of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression changes to the observed effects. The obtained results reflect the therapeutic potential of ECT for the treatment of depressive-like state in rodents and indicate the role of BDNF in these processes. In future research, it is necessary to investigate the relationship between neurotrophin and structural changes and to study other neurotrophic biomarkers that may be associated with the development of depression-like state and the therapy response.
期刊介绍：
Doklady Biological Sciences is a journal that publishes new research in biological sciences of great significance. Initially the journal was a forum of the Russian Academy of Science and published only best contributions from Russia in the form of short articles. Now the journal welcomes submissions from any country in the English or Russian language. Every manuscript must be recommended by Russian or foreign members of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
