    Pinealectomy alters IFN-? and IL-10 levels in primary thymocyte culture of rats
    (C M B Assoc, 2018) Sahin, Zafer; Sandal, Suleyman; Yilmaz, Bayram; Bulmus, Ozgur; Ozdemir, Gokcen; Kutlu, Selim; Godekmerdan, Ahmet
    Melatonin, produced mainly by the pineal gland, has an immunomodulatory role. However, the effects of the pineal gland and/or melatonin on thymus cytokine levels such as interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), interleukin (IL)-4, and IL-10 are not well known. Twenty-one male Wistar rats (220-250 gr) were randomly divided into three groups (n=7): intact control, sham, and pinealectomy. Primary thymocyte cultures were prepared from each group and dispensed into well plates as Control, DMSO (or vehicle), Sham-pinealectomy, Pinealectomy, Pinealectomy+10 mu M melatonin, and Pinealectomy+100 mu M melatonin. IFN-gamma, IL-4, and IL-10 concentrations were measured in the thymocytes (as nonstimulated and Concanavalin A-stimulated) after 24 h. IFN-gamma levels significantly increased and IL-10 levels significantly decreased in both media prepared from pinealectomized rats. There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of IL-4. In the pinealectomy+100 mu M melatonin group, IFN-gamma and IL-10 levels did not differ from the pinealectomy group. However, the dose of 100 mu M melatonin caused a decrease in levels of IFN-gamma in both thymocyte media and an increase in the concentration of IL-10 in Concanavalin A-stimulated thymocytes. In conclusion, pineal gland and or melatonin affect IFN-gamma and IL-10 levels in the thymus gland.

    Studies on the reproductive effects of chronic treatment with agomelatine in the rat
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2016) Canpolat, Sinan; Ulker, Nazife; Yardimci, Ahmet; Bulmus, Ozgur; Ozdemir, Gokcen; Sahin, Zafer; Ercan, Zubeyde
    Agomelatine is an antidepressant with a novel mechanism of action. It is a melatonergic agonist for MT1 and MT2 receptors and a serotonin (5-HT2C) receptor antagonist. Agomelatine has been suggested not to have adverse effects on sexual functions. However, the effects of chronic agomelatine administration on reproductive functions have not been sufficiently studied in animal models. We mainly aimed to explore the effects of agomelatine on reproductive functions in the male and female rats. For the experimental studies, Sprague Dawley rats were used. The animals started to receive daily oral agomelatine (10 mg/kg) on post-natal day 21. Agomelatine advanced vaginal opening in the female rats whereas it delayed puberty onset in the male rats. Agomelatine treatment significantly decreased intromission frequencies, which indicates a facilitator role of this antidepressant on male sexual behavior. In the forced swimming test (FST) used for assessing antidepressant efficacy, agomelatine induced a significant decrease in duration of immobility, and an increase in the swimming time, respectively, which confirms the antidepressant-like activity of agomelatine. The present findings suggest that agomelatine shows a strong antidepressant effect in the male rats without any adverse influences on sexual behavior, and its effects on pubertal maturation seem to show sex-dependent differences.
