Glycine – an important neurotransmitter and cytoprotective agent

Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, 2005
Background:  Glycine, the simplest of the amino acids, is an essential component of important biological molecules, a key substance in many metabolic reactions, the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the spinal cord and brain stem, and an anti‐inflammatory, cytoprotective, and immune modulating substance.Material and methods:  Based on available ...

Development of anti-obesity agents: drugs that target neuropeptide and neurotransmitter systems

Expert Opinion on Investigational Drugs, 2008
Obesity results from an imbalance of energy intake and energy expenditure. While the prevalence of obesity is increasing and the negative impact on public health is being recognized, highly effective and safe therapy for obesity is not yet available.This review summarizes the current state of the art in the late-stage development area of anti-obesity ...

Species variation in the cerebrovascular response to neurotransmitters and related vasoactive agents

General Pharmacology: The Vascular System, 1983
Constrictory and dilatory responses of pial arteries to various receptor stimulants and modulators were evaluated in vitro and compared in rat, rabbit, cat and man. For the constrictory response, differences were noted especially in the rabbit, which responded strongly to histamine but poorly to noradrenaline and prostaglandin F2 alpha. Histamine was a

Using the neurotransmitter serotonin to target imaging agents to glioblastoma cells

Investigational New Drugs, 2012
The neurotransmitter serotonin is involved in numerous bodily functions via seven different serotonin receptor subfamilies. Serotonin plays a role in gastrointestinal functions like intestinal secretion or peristalsis and neuropsychiatric events like depression or migraine.

Effect of antidepressant agents on β-adrenergic receptor and neurotransmitter regulatory systems

Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior, 1980
Abstract The effects of established and several novel antidepressant agents on brain monoamine oxidase A and B; high affinity synaptosomal uptake of norepinephrine, dopamine and serotonin; and β-adrenergic receptor kinetics evaluated by (3H)-dihydroalprenolol binding to cortical membranes are described.
