Fluoxetine adjunct to therapeutic exercise promotes motor recovery in rats with cerebral ischemia: roles of nucleus accumbens.
In conclusion, the NAc may play an important role in driving physical motivation, which was possibly related to motor recovery after stroke. Fluoxetine may hasten the effectiveness of therapeutic exercise, possibly via regulating 5-HT and its receptors in the NAc. PMID: 31369829 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Fluoxetine mitigating late-stage cognition and neurobehavior impairment induced by cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury through inhibiting ERS-mediated neurons apoptosis in the hippocampus.
Abstract Existing evidence from clinical and animal experiments all indicated that fluoxetine, selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and anti-depressant drug, has neuroprotection and improve functional outcomes after stroke. Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) inducing apoptosis after cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury was demonstrated in our previous. This trial was examined whether fluoxetine mitigates ERS-induced neuron apoptosis. Male sprague-dawley rats of cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury was produced via middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) strategy, with ischemia for 90 min and reperfusion...

Antidepressant-like effects of paeoniflorin on post-stroke depression in a rat model.
CONCLUSIONS: Observed results suggested that paeoniflorin could ameliorate the symptoms and improve the functional capability of PSD rats, similar to the effect of fluoxetine.

Chronic Fluoxetine Induces Activity Changes in Recovery From Poststroke Anxiety, Depression, and Cognitive Impairment
AbstractPoststroke depression (PSD) is a common outcome of stroke that limits recovery and is only partially responsive to chronic antidepressant treatment. In order to elucidate changes in the cortical-limbic circuitry associated with PSD and its treatment, we examined a novel mouse model of persistent PSD. Focal endothelin-1-induced ischemia of the left medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in male C57BL6 mice resulted in a chronic anxiety and depression phenotype. Here, we show severe cognitive impairment in spatial learning and memory in the stroke mice. The behavioral and cognitive phenotypes were reversed by chronic (4-wee...

Neuroplasticity and behavioral effects of  fluoxetine after experimental stroke.
Neuroplasticity and behavioral effects of fluoxetine after experimental stroke. Restor Neurol Neurosci. 2017 Aug 24;: Authors: Sun Y, Sun X, Qu H, Zhao S, Xiao T, Zhao C Abstract The brain can undergo self-repair and has the ability to compensate for functions lost after a stroke. The plasticity of the ischemic brain is influenced by several factors including aging and pharmacotherapy. Fluoxetine is an antidepressant which enhances serotonergic neurotransmission through selective inhibition of neuronal reuptake of serotonin. In clinical practice, fluoxetine alleviates the symptoms of post-stroke depre...

Update on pharmacotherapy for stroke and traumatic brain injury recovery during rehabilitation
This article evaluates whether specific drugs are able to facilitate motor recovery after stroke or improve the level of consciousness, cognitive, or behavioral symptoms after traumatic brain injury. Recent findings: After stroke, serotonin reuptake inhibitors can enhance restitution of motor functions in depressed as well as in nondepressed patients. Erythropoietin and progesterone administered within hours after moderate to severe traumatic brain injury failed to improve the outcome. A single dose of zolpidem can transiently improve the level of consciousness in patients with vegetative state or minimally conscious stat...

Alterations of the Ceramide Metabolism in the Peri-Infarct Cortex Are Independent of the Sphingomyelinase Pathway and Not Influenced by the Acid Sphingomyelinase Inhibitor Fluoxetine.
Abstract Ceramides induce important intracellular signaling pathways, modulating proliferation, migration, apoptosis, and inflammation. However, the relevance of the ceramide metabolism in the reconvalescence phase after stroke is unclear. Besides its well-known property as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, fluoxetine has been reported to inhibit the acid sphingomyelinase (ASM), a key regulator of ceramide levels which derives ceramide from sphingomyelin. Furthermore, fluoxetine has shown therapeutic potential in a randomized controlled rehabilitation trial in stroke patients. Our aim was to investigate an...

Fluoxetine Maintains a State of Heightened Responsiveness to Motor Training Early After Stroke in a Mouse Model Basic Sciences
Conclusions— There is a gradient of diminishing responsiveness to motor training over the first week after stroke. Fluoxetine can overcome this gradient and maintain maximal levels of responsiveness to training even 7 days after stroke.

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors to improve outcome in acute ischemic stroke: possible mechanisms and clinical evidence
ConclusionIn addition to the need of comprehensive‐clinical evidence, further elucidation of the beneficial mechanisms whereby SSRIs may improve structural and functional recovery from ischemic‐brain damage is needed to form a basis for translation into clinical practice. Several clinical studies have indicated that selective serotonin reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) administered after acute ischemic stroke can improve clinical recovery independently of depression. However, data from confirmatory trials in large study populations are lacking and the underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. This review summarizes...

Fluoxetine enhances Brain Derived Neurotropic Factor Serum Concentration and Cognition in Patients with Vascular Dementia.
Abstract Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) improve cognition in patients with stroke and increase the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the rat hippocampus. However, the effects of SSRIs on cognition and BDNF level in vascular dementia (VaD) patients are largely unknown. We performed an open-label study to investigate the effects of fluoxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, on mini-mental state examination (MMSE) score and serum BDNF level in VaD patients. Fifty VaD patients were randomly allocated to receive fluoxetine (20 mg/d; n = 25) or no fluoxetine (control g...
