The experiments were carried out on mice.And they showed that in women, the Rgs2 gene is responsible for the development of depression, which in turn is responsible for the expression of g-protein-2. That is what antidepressants do.
By increasing the amount of this protein, scientists have achieved stress minimization.
At the same time, experts have already noted that their study correlates with earlier ones, where it was found that different genes influence the occurrence of a depressive disorder in women and men.
Recall that earlier scientists found that depression can occur not only after a stroke, but also several years before this event, being a kind of harbinger of the disease.
