Ketamine’s Long-Lasting Antidepressant Effects via “Trapping” in NMDA Receptors & LHb
Researchers uncover a surprising molecular mechanism that explains ketamine’s exceptionally long-lasting antidepressant effects. Key Facts: Ketamine’s antidepressant effects last for days after its concentration drops to low, ineffective levels only an hour after administration. This contrasts starkly with ketamine’s short 13-minute half-life in the body. Ketamine continues blocking NMDA receptors and suppressing activity in the …
