Gene expression profile associated with Asmt knockout-induced depression-like behaviors and exercise effects in mouse hypothalamus

Abstract excerpt

Sleep disorder caused by abnormal circadian rhythm is one of the main symptoms and risk factors of depression. As a known hormone regulating circadian rhythms, melatonin (MT) is also namely N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine. N-acetylserotonin methyltransferase (Asmt) is the key rate-limiting enzyme of MT synthesis and has been reportedly associated with depression. Although 50-90% of patients with depression have...
