5-HT2A Serotonin Receptor Density in Adult Male Rats’ Hippocampus after Morphine-based Conditioned Place Preference
Introduction: A close interaction exists between the brain opioid and serotonin (5-HT) neurotransmitter systems. Brain neurotransmitter 5-HT plays an important role in the regulation of reward-related processing. However, a few studies have investigated the potential role of 5-HT2A receptors in this behavior. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to assess the influence of...
متن کاملChronic central melanocortin-4 receptor antagonism and central neuropeptide-Y infusion in rats produce increased adiposity by divergent pathways.
Increased hypothalamic neuropeptide-Y (NPY) action and disruption of the melanocortin (MC)-4 receptor both result in hyperphagia and obesity. To determine whether similar hormonal and metabolic mechanisms are involved in these two obesity syndromes, we investigated the time course of effects induced by 6-day intracerebroventricular (ICV) infusion of NPY (3.5 nmol/day) or the MC4 receptor antago...
متن کاملSerum haloperidol and neuroleptic receptor levels in chronic psychosis.
Serum haloperidol and serum dopamine blocking activity were measured, and steady state levels were compared in 22 chronic male schizophrenic patients. Haloperidol levels were measured by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC), and dopamine blocking activity was measured by a radioreceptor assay (NRRA). Clinical status was determined by the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) and the Abnor...
متن کاملEffects of chronic sumatriptan and zolmitriptan treatment on 5-HT receptor expression and function in rats.
Triptans are commonly used anti-migraine drugs and show agonist action mainly at serotonin 5-HT(1B/1D/1F) receptors. It is not known whether frequent or long-term treatment with these drugs would alter 5-HT receptor function. We investigated the effects of protracted (14-18 days) sumatriptan and zolmitriptan treatment in rats on 5-HT(1) receptor mRNA expression and function in tissues related t...
متن کاملMechanisms of chronic central neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury.
Not all spinal contusions result in mechanical allodynia, in which non-noxious stimuli become noxious. The studies presented use the NYU impactor at 12.5 mm drop or the Infinite Horizons Impactor (150 kdyn, 1 s dwell) devices to model spinal cord injury (SCI). Both of these devices and injury parameters, if done correctly, will result in animals with above level (forelimb), at level (trunk) and...
