OUT TODAY 1/14/21 - MORE NEW, EXCITING RESEARCH FROM The #PasinettiLab! Sleep deprivation is a form of stress that provokes both inflammatory responses and #Neu...ropsychiatricDisorders. Because persistent #Inflammation is implicated as a physiological process in #AnxietyDisorders, we investigated the contributions of #NLRP3 #Inflammasome signaling to anxiety and #Anxiolytic properties of #Flavanol diets in a model of chronic sleep deprivation. These results expand upon our previous findings that flavanol-rich dietary preparation (FDP) treatment preserves #Cognitive function in both models of #Stress and acute #SleepDeprivation and further emphasize the beneficial effects of FDP treatment in models of stress, finding that administration of FDP to mice subjected to #ChronicSleepDeprivation reduced anxiety by suppressing #Microglia activation and NLRP3 inflammasome activity. The study further shows sleep deprivation alters the expression of the #Circadian gene Bmal1, which critically regulated NLRP3 expression and IL-1 production.
