| Abstract | Although selective 5-HT reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) block monoamine uptake within hours of administration to patients, their full clinical effect does not appear until 2–4 weeks after treatment onset. Pindolol, a betablocker with weak partial 5-HT$_{1A}$ receptor agonist activity has been shown to produce a more rapid onset of antidepressant action of SSRIs. Howewer, the optimal dosing schedule of pindolol remains controversial. Building on a set-point model described previously for the hypothermic effect of 5-HT agonists, we have developed a model based on the concept of homeostatic control mechanisms, in which SSRIs exert their antidepressant effect by increasing the transduction set-point of the postsynaptic 5-HT$_{1A}$ receptor, and pindolol exerts its effect by increasing the rate of feedback mechanisms. The predictive distribution of the proportion of responders at each day of measurement (based on population simulation from the model) was not significantly different from the proportions observed in two published clinical trials, one with fluoxetine, the other with paroxetine alone or combined with pindolol. The model was applied to the simulation of paroxetine response (clinical score) time course with or without pindolol, after administration of different doses of each drug. The simulated total scores on the MADR scale obtained after treatment with paroxetine alone (20 mg/day) or paroxetine (20 mg/day) with different doses of pindolol (1.5, 7.5 and 37.5 mg/day) support that the reason for inconstant pindolol efficacy is that the 7.5 mg dose is too low. The model might be useful as a basis for clinical trial simulation |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
