Environmental challenges, specifically chronic stress, have long been associated with neuropsychiatric disorders, including anxiety and depression. Sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) is a NAD⁺-dependent deacetylase that is widely distributed in the cortex and is involved in stress responses and neuropsychiatric disorders. Nevertheless, how chronic stress modulates the SIRT1 pathway and associated signaling remains unclear. In this study, we first explored the impact of chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) on the SIRT1/PGC1α/SIRT3 pathway, on GABAergic mechanisms, and on mitophagy, autophagy and apoptosis in mice. We also asked whether activation of SIRT1 by resveratrol (RSV) can attenuate CUMS-induced molecular and behavioral alterations. Two-month-old C57/BL6J mice were subjected to three weeks of CUMS and one week of RSV treatment (30 mg/kg; i.p.) during the third week of CUMS. CUMS caused …
