Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 may be involved in macrophage plasticity [PDF]
Background Macrophages are a functionally heterogeneous cell population and depending on microenvironments they polarize in two main groups: M1 and M2. Glutamic acid and glutamate receptors may participate in the regulation of macrophage plasticity.

Allosteric activation of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 [PDF]
Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) is a class C G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) with both an extracellular ligand binding site and an allosteric intrahelical chamber located similarly to the orthosteric ligand binding site of Class A GPCRs. Ligands binding to this ancestral site of mGluR5 can act as positive (PAM), negative (NAM) or silent ...

Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 in bulimia nervosa. [PDF]
AbstractBulimia nervosa (BN) shares central features with substance-related and addictive disorders. The metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 5 (mGlu5) plays an important role in addiction. Based on similarities between binge eating and substance-related and addictive disorders, we investigated mGlu5 in vivo in 15 female subjects with BN and 15 ...

Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 in conditioned taste aversion learning [PDF]
In conditioned taste aversion (CTA), animals learn to avoid a flavored solution (conditioned stimulus, CS) previously paired with internal malaise (unconditioned stimulus, US). Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGlu5) has been implicated in learning and memory processes and is necessary for CTA.

Operant sensation seeking requires metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5). [PDF]
Pharmacological and genetic studies have suggested that the metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) is critically involved in mediating the reinforcing effects of drugs of abuse, but not food. The purpose of this study was to use mGluR5 knockout (KO),

Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 neuroimaging in schizophrenia [PDF]
The metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) is a promising drug target for the treatment of schizophrenia. In this study, we compared mGluR5 distribution volume ration (DVR) in subjects with schizophrenia and healthy controls. Given our previous findings, we matched samples for gender, age, and smoking status.

The role of the metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 in nicotine addiction [PDF]
AbstractThis review summarizes the evidence for the potential involvement of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) in the development of nicotine addiction. Nicotine is consumed worldwide and is highly addictive. Previous research has extensively investigated the role of dopamine in association with reward learning and addiction, which has ...
