Methylene Blue and Mental Health: From Anxiety and Depression to Neurodegeneration and Recovery Research
Reading Time: 22 minutes. Methylene blue exhibits psychiatric potential through the inhibition of monoamine oxidase A at nanomolar concentrations and the enhancement of mitochondrial complex activity. Randomised controlled trials establish efficacy for residual depressive symptoms in bipolar disorder, with ideal dosing at 15 mg daily producing significant improvements in depression and anxiety measures without manic…

Methylene Blue for Traumatic Brain Injury: Research Insights and Safety Factors
Reading Time: 11 minutes. Methylene blue shows promise for traumatic brain injury through multiple neuroprotective mechanisms, including reducing cerebral lesion volumes (2.49 mm³ vs. 3.29 mm³ in controls), decreasing brain oedema, and preserving neuronal integrity. You’ll find that it enhances mitochondrial function, maintains blood-brain barrier integrity, reduces inflammatory cytokines, and improves motor function outcomes in…

Methylene Blue and Huntington’s Disease: What Research Reveals
Reading Time: 9 minutes. Research shows that methylene blue disrupts huntingtin protein aggregates that cause Huntington’s disease by interfering with hydrogen-bonding networks and β-sheet formation. Studies demonstrate it effectively blocks aggregate formation in cell cultures, extends lifespan in Drosophila models, and delays symptom onset in R6/2 mice when treatment begins early. The compound also enhances…
