Neurotransmitters: Elusive glutamate receptors

Current Biology, 1994
Kainate-preferring glutamate receptors appear to be abundant in the central nervous system. We have recently begun to understand their properties, but their functions remain to be described.

Neurotransmitters and Receptors

2022
This chapter describes the molecular basis of neurotransmitters and opioid and non-opioid receptors involved in the transmission of noxious stimuli. It also covers the mechanism of action of treatments that are used in pain management.

Neurotransmitter Receptors and Aging

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 1984
The role of receptors in the central nervous system and effects of aging on the four neurotransmitter receptors most often studied in the context of aging—beta‐adrenergic, cholinergic, benzodiazepine, and dopamine—are discussed.

Neurotransmitter Receptors And Phosphoinositide Turnover

Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology, 1989
Neurotransmitters, neuromodulators, hormones and growth-promoting fac­ tors are now known to exhibit their diverse metabolic and physiological responses by interaction with their selective receptors located on the cell surface. These surface receptors transduce and amplify extracellular signals by the generation of so-called second messengers.

Neurotransmitter Receptor Mobility

Science Signaling, 2002
Changes in glutamate receptor distribution are one of the responses to stimuli that are responsible for synaptic plasticity. Borgdorff and Choquet analyzed the lateral mobility of AMPA-type glutamate receptors, containing the GluR2 subunit, by laser-tweezer single-particle tracking.

Quantitative densitometry of neurotransmitter receptors

Journal of Neuroscience Methods, 1982
An autoradiographic procedure is described that allows the quantitative measurement of neurotransmitter receptors by optical density readings. This procedure is a modification of the method of Young and Kuhar (1979a). Frozen brain sections are labeled in vitro with [3H]ligands under conditions that maximize specific binding to neurotransmitter ...

Evolution of neurotransmitter receptor systems

Progress in Neurobiology, 1988
The presence of hormones, neurotransmitters, their receptors and biosynthetic and degradative enzymes is clearly not only associated with the present and the recent past but with the past several hundred million years. Evidence is mounting which indicates substantial conservation of protein structure and function of these receptors and enzymes over ...

Cetirizine: Actions on neurotransmitter receptors

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1990
First-generation H1-antagonist antihistamines, such as hydroxyzine, have the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and cause sedation, which limits their usefulness in the treatment of allergic disorders. Cetirizine, a carboxylated metabolite of hydroxyzine, possesses the parent compound's antihistaminic activity but causes less sedation.

[Neurotransmitter-receptor-imaging].

Der Radiologe, 1994
The importance of neuroreceptor imaging in vivo using single photon emission tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET) has increased enormously. The principal neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, GABA/benzodiazepine, acetylcholine, and serotonin, are presented with reference to anatomical, biochemical, and physiological features.

Neurotransmitters and receptors: Clinical implications

Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology and Biological Psychiatry, 1984
With the advent of new techniques such as the radioreceptor binding assay, significant advances have been made in the field of psychopharmacology during the past seven years. In this paper we discuss some of these contributions regarding our understanding about the nature of different psychopathological conditions such as anxiety, depression and ...
