Effect of brain acidification on depression-related behaviors in diabetes mellitus.

ABSTRACT: Major depressive disorder (depression) is a leading cause of disability. The severity of depression is affected by many factors, one of which being comorbidity with diabetes mellitus (DM). The comorbidity of depression with DM is a major public health concern due to the high incidence of both conditions and their mutually exacerbating pathophysiology. However, the mechanisms by which DM exacerbates depression remain largely unknown, and elucidating these regulatory mechanisms would contribute to a significant unmet clinical need. We generated a comorbid mouse model of depression and DM (comorbid model), which was extensively compared with depression and DM models. Depressive and anhedonic phenotypes were more severe in the comorbid model. We thus concluded that the comorbid model recapitul
