“The addition of lamotrigine reduced the proteasome inhibitor-induced changes in the apoptosis-related protein levels, production of reactive oxygen species, depletion and oxidation of glutathione ( GSH ), and cell death in both cell lines.”
“The suppressive effect of lamotrigine appears to be associated with its inhibitory effect on the production of reactive oxygen species, the depletion and oxidation of GSH and the activity reduction of 20S proteasome.”
“In addition, chronic treatment with other mood stabilizing drugs lamotrigine and carbamazepine, but not antidepressants desipramine and fluoxetine, increased both glutathione levels and the expression of glutamate-cysteine ligase in SH-SY5Y cells.”
