When postmenopausal women are under stress conditions, this exacerbates mood disorders and issues with neuroimmune systems. The porcine placenta is known to relieve menopausal depression in clinical trials, but its underlying mechanisms for anti-inflammatory functions remain poorly defined. present study was designed examine the effects of enzymatic hydrolysate (EPPH) on LPS-induced levels nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), corticosterone (CORT), pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. In addition, neurite outgrowth PC12 cells evaluated EPPH growth. To mimic symptoms menopause-related depression, a stressed ovariectomized (OVX) female mouse model used evaluate antidepressant EPPH. mice were randomly divided into five groups: (1) sham-operated (Sham) group, (2) OVX + repeated saline-treated (OVX ST) (3) estradiol (0.2 mg/kg)-treated (positive control) (4) (300 (300) (5) (1500 (1500) group. Female repeatedly immobilization-stressed 2 weeks (2 h/day). A tail suspension test conducted 13th day, followed by forced swimming 14th day assess After behavioral tests, CORT, PGE2, IL-1β evaluated. c-Fos expression paraventricular nucleus (PVN) using immunohistochemistry. concentrations NO, stimulated LPS significantly reduced via addition promoted compared that controls. test, duration immobility treated 1500 ST group had decreased c-Fos-positive neurons PVN CORT serum Sham These results suggested high dose administration induced antidepressant-like effect downregulating IL-1β, PGE2 through reducing regions.
