News Reduced Activity Of A Brain Protein Linked To Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

[MyPTSD]

People with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have reduced activity of the protein serum and glucocorticoid regulated kinase 1 (SGK1) in their prefrontal cortices, and experimentally reducing the protein's activity in rats leads to PTSD-like behavior, according to a new study. The study suggests that augmenting activity of SGK1 may be therapeutic in PTSD.

I would like to donate my brain to a study like this, so as to help the next generation.

@Ms Spock Me too. I was wondering where to sign up for the PTSD brain bank. :)

It would be the thing to do @Simply Simon.

To fix the protein serum and glucocorticoid regulated kinase 1 (SGK1) what would be need to take? What would be need to eat? What supplements would be need to be ingested?
