New chemical discovered at UC Davis may be new tool for depression therapy
Submitted by admin on Wed, 06/29/2016 - 11:33am
Event Date:
June 30, 2016 - 5:30pm
A chemical discovered in a UC Davis lab may be a new, innovative tool to control depression. Studies involve an enzyme (soluble epoxide hydrolase or sEH) which is found in many species from bugs to humans. Research in animal models of depression suggests that sEH plays a key role in modulating inflammation, which is involved in depression. Years of research and discovery around this enzyme led from investigating insect biology to translating the basic science into a potential therapy for man.
