Ameliorative Effect of a Hippocampal Metabotropic Glutamate– Receptor Agonist on Histamine H1 Receptor Antagonist–Induced Memory Deficit in Rats

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2010
This study was performed to investigate the ameliorative effects of metabotropic glutamate (mGlu)-receptor agonists on histamine H1 receptor antagonist–induced spatial memory deficit and the decrease in hippocampal theta activity in rats. Intraperitoneal

Activation of mGlu3 receptors stimulates the production of GDNF in striatal neurons. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
Metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors have been considered potential targets for the therapy of experimental parkinsonism. One hypothetical advantage associated with the use of mGlu receptor ligands is the lack of the adverse effects typically induced ...

Dysregulation of Ambient Glutamate and Glutamate Receptors in Epilepsy: An Astrocytic Perspective

Frontiers in Neurology, 2021
Given the important functions that glutamate serves in excitatory neurotransmission, understanding the regulation of glutamate in physiological and pathological states is critical to devising novel therapies to treat epilepsy.

Analgesic Activity of Cinnabarinic Acid in Models of Inflammatory and Neuropathic Pain

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022
Cinnabarinic acid (CA) is a trace kynurenine metabolite, which activates both type-4 metabotropic glutamate (mGlu4) and arylic hydrocarbon (Ah) receptors.

Increased response to glutamate in small diameter dorsal root ganglion neurons after sciatic nerve injury. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Glutamate in the peripheral nervous system is involved in neuropathic pain, yet we know little how nerve injury alters responses to this neurotransmitter in primary sensory neurons.

Genetic inactivation of mGlu5 receptor improves motor coordination in the Grm1crv4 mouse model of SCAR13 ataxia

Neurobiology of Disease, 2018
Deleterious mutations in the glutamate receptor metabotropic 1 gene (GRM1) cause a recessive form of cerebellar ataxia, SCAR13. GRM1 and GRM5 code for the metabotropic glutamate type 1 (mGlu1) and type 5 (mGlu5) receptors, respectively.

Extensive neuroadaptive changes in cortical gene-transcript expressions of the glutamate system in response to repeated intermittent MDMA administration in adolescent rats

BMC Neuroscience, 2008
Background Many studies have focused on the implication of the serotonin and dopamine systems in neuroadaptive responses to the recreational drug 3,4-methylenedioxy-metamphetamine (MDMA).

Anticonvulsive effect of paeoniflorin on experimental febrile seizures in immature rats: possible application for febrile seizures in children. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Febrile seizures (FS) is the most common convulsive disorder in children, but there have been no clinical and experimental studies of the possible treatment of FS with herbal medicines, which are widely used in Asian countries.
