متن کاملSerotonin 5-HT2B receptors are required for 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine-induced hyperlocomotion and 5-HT release in vivo and in vitro.
The "club drug" 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA; also known as ecstasy) binds preferentially to and reverses the activity of the serotonin transporter, causing release of serotonin [5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)] stores from nerve terminals. Subsequent activation of postsynaptic 5-HT receptors by released 5-HT has been shown to be critical for the unique psychostimulatory effects of MDMA. ...
متن کاملAugmented brain 5-HT crosses the blood-brain barrier through the 5-HT transporter in rat.
The present study re-evaluated an existing notion that serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) could not cross the brain to the circulating blood via the blood-brain barrier (BBB). To elevate brain 5-HT alone, 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP; 30-75 mg/kg) was administrated intravenously to anaesthetized rats that had undergone gastrointestinal and kidney resections along with liver inactivation (organ...
متن کاملAB030. Evolution of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors
After launching of sildenafil citrate, the last invention of 20 century, in 1998, oral phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor has been established as first line treatment of erectile dysfunction and shift new paradigm of diagnosis and treatment of erectile dysfunction. The big success of sildenafil in pharmaceutical R&D induced the consecutive development of the so-called ‘The second Viagra’...
متن کاملPhosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors for erectile dysfunction.
The cyclic nucleotide signalling pathway mediates the smooth-muscle relaxing effects of nitric oxide necessary for normal erectile function. Down-regulation of this pathway is central to the pathophysiology of many forms of erectile dysfunction (ED), which is often associated with other chronic diseases (e.g. hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus) and treatments (e.g. certain drugs, radical pr...
