Use of Serotonergic Drugs in Canada for Gastrointestinal Motility Disorders: Results of a Retrospective Cohort Study

open access: yesScientifica, 2016
Background. Surgery for GI dysmotility is limited to those with severe refractory disease. Though effective, use of serotonergic promotility drugs has been restricted in Canada due to adverse events.

Neurobiological correlates of obsessive‐compulsive disorder (OCD): A narrative review

open access: yesIbrain, EarlyView.
Obsessive‐compulsive disorder (OCD) is a common and disabling, as well as underdiagnosed, neuropsychiatric condition characterized by involuntary and unwanted obsessions and/or compulsions often accompanied by states of severe anxiety, distress and shame, as well as other comorbid disorders. Despite the extensive literature available to date, only some

Enteric serotonergic neurones … finally!

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, 2009
The involvement of serotonin (5-HT) in gastrointestinal (GI) physiology was recognized even before its structure had been discovered or anything was known about its role in the central nervous system. In 1937, Vittorio Erspamer extracted a factor, derived from the enterochromaffin (EC) cells of the GI epithelium, which he identified as an amine and ...

Host–microbiota interaction drives 5‐hydroxyindole‐3‐acetic acid production to promote linear growth in infant mice

open access: yesiMetaOmics, EarlyView.
This study discovered that Lactiplantibacillus plantarum Hi188 promoted linear growth in postweaning mice. Transcriptomic analysis, untargeted metabolomics, and in vitro experiments showed that the elevated levels of 5‐hydroxyindole‐3‐acetic acid (5‐HIAA) activated the hepatic aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and subsequently promoted insulin‐like ...

Weizmannia coagulans XY2 Mitigates Copper Neurotoxicity via Gut–Brain Axis Modulation of Tryptophan Metabolism and Oxidative‐Inflammatory Crosstalk

open access: yesiMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Copper interferes with tryptophan metabolism and 5‐HT levels by modulating intestinal flora. Intestinal barrier breakdown and inflammatory response trigger nerve damage under copper exposure. W. coagulans XY2 alleviates copper‐induced neurotoxicity by targeting a multi‐dimensional “tryptophan metabolism‐antioxidant defense‐gut‐brain axis” network.

Fgf3 is crucial for the generation of monoaminergic cerebrospinal fluid contacting cells in zebrafish

open access: yesBiology Open, 2019
In most vertebrates, including zebrafish, the hypothalamic serotonergic cerebrospinal fluid-contacting (CSF-c) cells constitute a prominent population. In contrast to the hindbrain serotonergic neurons, little is known about the development and function ...

Serotonergic dysfunction and aggression control [PDF]

open access: yesPsychological Medicine, 1991
In the early 1970s we reported the occurrence of diminished accumulation of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) after probenecid administration in depression (van Praag et al. 1970; van Praag and Korf 1971). Lowered baseline and postprobenecid 5-HIAA levels in CSF are an indication of diminished metabolism of the mother ...

White Matter Dysfunction and Neurotransmitter Basis Underlying the Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease

open access: yesiNew Medicine, EarlyView.
In the freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease, white matter shows decreased local activity but increased functional connectivity. These distinct dysfunctions are uniquely associated with specific neurotransmitter systems (GABA, dopamine, etc.), mapping a new neurochemical basis for this debilitating symptom. ABSTRACT Freezing of gait (FOG) is a severe
