Alcohol produces a variety of effects, including a reduction in stress or negative emotional states termed an anxiolytic effect. The anxiolytic effect of alcohol is an often-reported reason for why people begin consuming the drug. However, several factors concerning the stress-reducing effect of alcohol need to be investigated. For example, research has demonstrated that both age and sex are factors that impact alcohol's anxiolytic effect producing differential outcomes in aged female rats compared to aged male rats. In light of these findings, the current commentary highlights critical questions in need of research with the goal of better understanding how age and sex interact to influence the anxiolytic effect of alcohol. For example, the central nucleus of the amygdala has been identified as a critical brain region mediating the anxiolytic effect of drugs, but additional research is needed to understand how aging alters the neurological functioning of the central nucleus of the amygdala in both females and males. Furthermore, specific receptor isoforms, such as GABA<sub>A</sub> receptor α2, have been shown to be critical for anxiolysis and understanding how aging and sex alter receptor isoform expression by brain region is needed. Finally, age and sex interact to alter allopregnanolone levels in brain and differential neurosteroid levels may mediate alcohol's unique anxiolytic effect in aged female rats compared to aged male rats. Given the increasing age of the population in most countries and the increasing alcohol consumption levels in females compared to males, investigating the interaction of sex and age on alcohol's anxiolytic effect has great promise to discover critical answers to what are currently unasked questions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":19893,"journal":{"name":"Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142243405","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the development of novel therapeutics for anxiety disorders has lagged compared to other mental illnesses. A growing body of research suggests the gut microbiota plays a role in the etiopathology of anxiety disorders and may, therefore, serve as a novel target for their treatment through the use of probiotics. The use of dietary supplements like probiotics is increasing and their interaction with pharmacotherapies is not well understood. Utilizing the chick social-separation stress test, the primary aim of this study was to evaluate the commercially-available multi-strain probiotic found in VSL#3 for potential anxiolytic-like and/or antidepressant-like effects in the stress-vulnerable Black Australorp genetic line. A secondary aim was to evaluate the interaction between probiotics and the SSRI fluoxetine. Animals were treated with either saline, probiotics, fluoxetine, or probiotics + fluoxetine for 8 days prior to exposure to a 90-min isolation stressor that produces both a panic-like (i.e., anxiety-like) state followed by a state of behavioral despair (i.e., depression-like). The 8-day probiotic regimen produced anxiolytic-like effects but did not attenuate behavioral despair. Fluoxetine failed to significantly alter behavior in either of the two phases. Moreover, the combination of fluoxetine with probiotics attenuated the anxiolytic-like effects of probiotics. The fluoxetine + probiotics combination had no effect on behavioral despair. The results of the current study align with other preclinical studies and some clinical trials suggesting probiotics may offer beneficial effects on anxiety. Investigations examining the anxiolytic-like mechanism of probiotics are needed before any conclusions can be made. Additionally, as the use of probiotics becomes more popular, research on the interactions between probiotic-microbiota and psychotropic medications is necessary.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":19893,"journal":{"name":"Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142243407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The incidence, progression, and severity of Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease, the most common neurodegenerative diseases, also differ between the sexes. Sex differences in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and anxiety are also observed in tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Neuropsychiatric symptoms are one of the most important manifestations of TSC, and the multiple neuropsychiatric symptoms are collectively referred to as TSC-associated neuropsychiatric disorders (TAND). We created TSC model mice (Tsc2 conditional knockout [cKO] mice) that developed epilepsy and TAND. Sex-based differences were observed for hyperactivity and cognitive dysfunctions in Tsc2 cKO mice with TAND, indicating more severe symptoms in female mice than in male mice. TSC is thought to be caused by the hyperactivation of mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), and mTORC1 inhibitors improve almost all TSC symptoms. Treatment with sirolimus, an mTORC1 inhibitor, improved TAND in Tsc2 cKO mice. We aimed to elucidate the mechanism underlying sex-based differences in TAND using Tsc2 cKO mice and sirolimus. We found that estradiol (E2) and estrogen receptor (ER)α are involved in sex differences in neuropsychiatric symptoms, and discovered a novel function of sirolimus. We showed that sirolimus ameliorated TAND by modulating brain steroid levels and regulating E2/ERα-dependent transcriptional activation. This indicates sirolimus may be beneficial for the treatment of TAND as well as diseases caused by sex-based differences and steroid levels.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":19893,"journal":{"name":"Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142151623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Animals received six evenly spaced shocks preceded by a tone. The following day, rats were returned to the fear chamber where tones, but no shocks, were delivered. In Experiment 1, separate or concurrent administrations of cocaine (15 mg/kg; i.p.) and the D2 receptor antagonist eticlopride (0.1 mg/kg; i.p.) were given immediately after conditioning trials. It was determined that cocaine administration during the consolidation period diminished the expression of cued fear during the subsequent test day. Concurrent eticlopride administration attenuated this effect, indicating the involvement of D2 receptors in the deleterious effects of cocaine on fear memory consolidation. In Experiment 2, eticlopride (0.05 μg) was infused directly into the ventral hippocampus (VH) after fear conditioning and before cocaine administration. Cocaine continued to disrupt consolidation of cued and contextual fear memory, and concurrent intra-VH eticlopride blocked this effect, thereby demonstrating that VH D2 receptors mediate cocaine-induced impairment of fear memory consolidation.
