ABSTRACT
Fluoxetine is commonly prescribed during pregnancy but developmental exposure to the drug, like infection, is associated with sex-specific behavioral changes in the offspring. We evaluated the effects of Fluoxetine on production of biomarkers for inflammation (pro/anti-inflammatory cytokines) and neurodevelopment (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor, BDNF) in the presence and absence of infection in female and male placenta explant cultures. In addition to minor anti-inflammatory effects of the drug, Fluoxetine had significant sex- and infection-dependent effects on BDNF production. Further studies are needed to determine the extent to which these observed changes occur in vivo and their impact on pregnancy and neurodevelopmental outcomes.
