Neuroprotective effects of naringenin on nicotine-induced anxiety and depression: Involvement of monoaminergic systems, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation on male rats
NG exerts anxiolytic, antidepressant, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects, likely via modulation of monoaminergic pathways and suppression of neuroinflammation and oxidative stress. These findings underscore the potential of NG as a promising candidate for mitigating neuropathological effects associated with nicotine withdrawal-induced neuropathology, particularly during adolescence.
