Halobacterium Halobium에서 항우울제의 부분몰 부피와 몇 가지 지질의 부유물은 과량의 부피 팽창 계를 사용하여 25 ℃에서 측정되었다. 일반적인 항우울제인 Fluoxetine의 효능은 오랫동안 지질 용해도와 관련이 있는 것으로 알려져 왔다. Halobacterium Halobium의 보라색 막에서 유일한 막 단백질인 소포의 변성은 280nm에서 흡수 변화에 의해 연구되었고 과도한 부피 팽창 계로 330nm에서 형광 변화를 보였다. 확산 교환에 의한 점성 중합체 용액의 1H NMR 분석은 측정을 위한 중요한 단계로, Halobacteriun Halobium에서 Fluoxetine의 부분 몰 부피와 입자 크기는 양성으로 측정되었다. 항우울제는 낮은 사기와 우울증에 근거하여 다양한 인지 및 정신 증상을 유발하는 질병을 예방하여 일일 수행 능력을 저하시키는 걸로 나타났다.

K+ channels are involved in the regulation of a variety of physiological functions, including proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation, in mammalian cells. Our previous study demonstrated that the blockage of K+ channels inhibits mouse early embryonic development. This study was designed to identify the effect of K+ channels during bovine embryonic development. K+ channel blockers (tetraethylammonium (TEA), BaCl2, quinine, ruthenium red and fluoxetine) were added to the culture medium during in vitro fertilization (IVF) for 6 h to first identify the short-term effect of these chemicals. Among K+ channel blockers, fluoxetine, which is used as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, significantly increased the blastocyst formation rate by approximately 6% when compared to control. During the in vitro maturation (IVM) of immature oocytes and the in vitro culture (IVC) of embryos, the oocytes and embryos were exposed to fluoxetine for either a short-term (6 h) or a long-term (24 h) to compare the embryonic development in response to exposure time. The 6 h exposure to fluoxetine during IVM did not affect the blastocyst formation rate, but the rate of blastocyst formation was reduced after the 24 h exposure. On the other hand, embryonic development increased approximately 10% in both groups of embryos exposed to fluoxetine for 6 and 24 h during IVC. Taken together, fluoxetine treatment during IVF and IVC, but not IVM, enhances bovine embryonic development. These results suggest that fluoxetine-modulated signals in oocytes and embryos could be an important factor towards enhancing bovine embryonic development.
