The Effect of Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase (SEH) on Depression
Depression is the most common mental disease and the second leading cause of chronic disease burden, which is closely related to suicidal behavior. The diagnosis and treatment of depression still lack of effective biological indicators, and about 30% of patients with depression still can not relieve their depressive symptoms after treatment. Previous studies have found that ATP release from astrocytes plays an important role in the occurrence, development and treatment of depression. Epoxy eicosotrienes (eets) are closely related to the function of the nervous system and may be the pathophysiological mechanism of depression. Soluble epoxide hydrolase (SEH) can regulate ATP release by affecting EET degradation, leading to depression like behavior and antidepressant effect, and sEH is closely related to cognitive function of depression.
