We showed that inherent anxiety at baseline and elevated expression of the mineralocorticoid receptors (MR) in the hippocampus predisposes to a stress-induced suppression of expression of metabotropic glutamate receptors-2 (mGlu2, a key inhibitor of spontaneous glutamate release) with development of depressive-like behavior via epigenetic mechanisms of histone acetylation [20]
Its oral bioavailability is achieved through the incorporation of the absorption enhancer SNAC (N-[8-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)amino]octanoic acid), which works through two mechanisms: (1) temporarily raising the local pH in the stomach to reduce gastric protease activity
