Abstract

Mood disorders are devastating, often chronic illnesses characterized by low mood, poor affect, and anhedonia. Notably, mood disorders are approximately twice as prevalent in women compared to men. If sex differences in mood are due to underlying biological sex differences, a better understanding of the biology is warranted to develop better treatment or even prevention of these debilitating disorders. In this review, our goals are to: 1) summarize the literature related to mood disorders with respect to sex differences in prevalence, 2) introduce the corticolimbic brain network of mood regulation, 3) discuss strategies and challenges of modeling mood disorders in mice, 4) discuss mechanisms underlying sex differences and how these can be tested in mice, and 5) discuss how our group and others have used a translational approach to investigate mechanisms underlying sex differences in mood disorders in humans and mice.

Statistics

Figure 1 A novel model depicting a dynamic balance between sex chromosome complement and circulating testosterone on anxiety (black dotted line). A conventional interpretation in the sex difference field is that XY sex chromosome complement may exert a compensatory effect to reduce differences otherwise induced by circulating testosterone or vice versa. Data outlined in this review suggests that this is also the case for the regulation of mood and anxiety-like behaviors. Specifically, while male sex chromosome complement causes an increase in anxiety-like behavior, this effect is opposed by testosterone’s antianxiety effect. While sex chromosome complement appears to be acting via control of gene expression, we hypothesize that testosterone affects the activity of certain inhibitory GABA cell types (e.g., SST cells).CC BY · PubMed Central

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
