Serotonin reuptake inhibitors and cardiovascular disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Selective serotonin re-uptake inhibiting drugs (SSRIs) are widely used for endogenous depression. In addition to depleting the nerve terminals of serotonin they also lower blood platelet serotonin levels.

Identification, functional characterization and pharmacological profile of a serotonin type-2b receptor in the medically important insect, Rhodnius prolixus

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2015
In the Chagas disease vector, Rhodnius prolixus, two diuretic hormones act synergistically to dramatically increase fluid secretion by the Malpighian tubules (MTs) during the rapid diuresis that is initiated upon engorgement of vertebrate blood.

The Constitutive Activity of Spinal 5-HT6 Receptors Contributes to Diabetic Neuropathic Pain in Rats

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2023
Diabetic neuropathy is often associated with chronic pain. Serotonin type 6 (5-HT6) receptor ligands, particularly inverse agonists, have strong analgesic potential and may be new candidates for treating diabetic neuropathic pain and associated co-morbid

Enhanced sensitivity of postsynaptic serotonin-1A receptors in rats and mice with high trait aggression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Individual differences in aggressive behaviour have been linked to variability in central serotonergic activity, both in humans and animals. A previous experiment in mice, selectively bred for high or low levels of aggression, showed an up-regulation of ...

Serotonergic Modulation of Neuronal Activity in the Nucleus Accumbens Following Repeated Methamphetamine Administration in Rats

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2013
Electrophysiological studies were performed to determine whether serotonergic modulation in the nucleus accumbens (NAcc) was affected after repeated methamphetamine (MAP) administration. NAcc slices (400 μm) from Wistar rats administered MAP (5 mg/kg) or

Metabotropic glutamate 2/3 receptors and epigenetic modifications in psychotic disorders: a review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder are chronic psychiatric disorders, both considered as "major psychosis"; they are thought to share some pathogenetic factors involving a dysfunctional gene x environment interaction.

Stress-Induced Reinstatement of Drug Seeking: 20 Years of Progress [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In human addicts, drug relapse and craving are often provoked by stress. Since 1995, this clinical scenario has been studied using a rat model of stress-induced reinstatement of drug seeking.

Activation of sigma-1 receptor chaperone in the treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases and its clinical implication

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2015
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein sigma-1 receptor represents unique chaperone activity in the central nervous system, and it exerts a potent influence on a number of neurotransmitter systems. Several lines of evidence suggest that activation of sigma-1

Cognitive impairment induced by delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol occurs through heteromers between cannabinoid CB1 and serotonin 5-HT2A receptors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main psychoactive compound of marijuana, induces numerous undesirable effects, including memory impairments, anxiety, and dependence.

A characterization of the Manduca sexta serotonin receptors in the context of olfactory neuromodulation.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Neuromodulation, the alteration of individual neuron response properties, has dramatic consequences for neural network function and is a phenomenon observed across all brain regions and taxa.
