Abundant immunohistochemical expression of dopamine D2 receptor and p53 protein in meningiomas: follow-up, relation to gender, age, tumor grade, and recurrence [PDF]
Meningiomas are common, usually benign tumors, with a high postoperative recurrence rate. However, the genesis and development of these tumors remain controversial.

Initial d2 dopamine receptor sensitivity predicts cocaine sensitivity and reward in rats. [PDF]
The activation of dopamine receptors within the mesolimbic dopamine system is known to be involved in the initiation and maintenance of cocaine use. Expression of the D2 dopamine receptor subtype has been implicated as both a predisposing factor and ...

Toward precision nutrition: Genetic risks of nutrients deficiencies and eating behaviors among the Orang Asli and Malays. Abstract This cross‐sectional study aimed to profile 15 genetic markers associated with the risks of nutrient deficiencies and eating disinhibition behaviors that could lead to obesity among the Orang Asli (OA) and the Malays.

Regulation of Neuromodulator Receptor Efficacy - Implications for Whole-Neuron and Synaptic Plasticity [PDF]
Membrane receptors for neuromodulators (NM) are highly regulated in their distribution and efficacy - a phenomenon which influences the individual cell's response to central signals of NM release. Even though NM receptor regulation is implicated in the pharmacological action of many drugs, and is also known to be influenced by various environmental ...

Neurodevelopment in school‐aged children after intrauterine exposure to antipsychotics
Abstract Objective Antipsychotics are increasingly prescribed in pregnancy, yet little is known about potential long‐term developmental effects on children. In this study, we investigated the effect of prenatal antipsychotic exposure on neurodevelopmental functioning in school‐aged children.

Down-regulation of the dopamine receptor D2 in mice lacking ataxin 1.
Ataxin 1 (Atxn1) is a protein of unknown function associated with spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1), a neurodegenerative disease of late onset with variable degrees of cerebellar ataxia, ophthalmoplegia and neuropathy.

Structure of a D2 dopamine receptor-G protein complex in a lipid membrane
The D2 dopamine receptor (DRD2) is a therapeutic target for Parkinson’s disease 1 and antipsychotic drugs 2 . DRD2 is activated by the endogenous neurotransmitter dopamine and synthetic agonist drugs such as bromocriptine 3 , leading to stimulation of G ...
