The cardiac ventricular 5-HT4 receptor is functional in late foetal development and is reactivated in heart failure. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
A positive inotropic responsiveness to serotonin, mediated by 5-HT(4) and 5-HT(2A) receptors, appears in the ventricle of rats with post-infarction congestive heart failure (HF) and pressure overload-induced hypertrophy.

The Constitutive Activity of Spinal 5-HT6 Receptors Contributes to Diabetic Neuropathic Pain in Rats

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2023
Diabetic neuropathy is often associated with chronic pain. Serotonin type 6 (5-HT6) receptor ligands, particularly inverse agonists, have strong analgesic potential and may be new candidates for treating diabetic neuropathic pain and associated co-morbid

Serotonin receptors: Subtypes, functional responses and therapeutic relevance [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
Recent, rapid progress in the molecular biology of serotonin (5-HT) receptors requires conceptual re-thinking with respect to receptor classification.

Serotonergic Modulation of Neurovascular Transmission: A Focus on Prejunctional 5-HT Receptors/Mechanisms

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2023
5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), or serotonin, plays a crucial role as a neuromodulator and/or neurotransmitter of several nervous system functions. Its actions are complex, and depend on multiple factors, including the type of effector or receptor activated.

Both exogenous 5-HT and endogenous 5-HT, released by fluoxetine, enhance distension evoked propulsion in guinea-pig ileum in vitro

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2014
The roles of 5-HT3 and 5-HT4 receptors in the modulation of intestinal propulsion by luminal application of 5-HT and augmentation of endogenous 5-HT effects were studied in segments of guinea-pig ileum in vitro. Persistent propulsive contractions evoked

Neurochemical Changes in the Mouse Hippocampus Underlying the Antidepressant Effect of Genetic Deletion of P2X7 Receptors. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Recent investigations have revealed that the genetic deletion of P2X7 receptors (P2rx7) results in an antidepressant phenotype in mice. However, the link between the deficiency of P2rx7 and changes in behavior has not yet been explored.

Central serotonin2C receptor : from physiology to pathology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Since the 1950s, when serotonin (5-HT) was discovered in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS), an enormous amount of experimental evidence has revealed the pivotal role of this biogenic amine in a number of cognitive and behavioural functions ...

Changes in 5-HT Receptor Expression in Untreated, de novo Patients with Parkinson's Disease

open access: yesJournal of Parkinson’s Disease, 2014
Background: Serotonin (5-HT) has long been implied in the pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease (PD). In addition, the 5-HT 2A receptor is associated with the regulation of motor function and mood.

Involvement of an altered 5-HT -{6} receptor function in behavioral symptoms of Alzheimer's disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We studied the hypothesis that disturbances in 5-HT_{6} receptor function in the temporal cortex may contribute to clinical symptoms of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Dynamics and Patterning of 5-Hydroxytryptamine 2 Subtype Receptors in JC Polyomavirus Entry

open access: yesViruses, 2022
The organization and dynamics of plasma membrane receptors are a critical link in virus-receptor interactions, which finetune signaling efficiency and determine cellular responses during infection. Characterizing the mechanisms responsible for the active
