Serotoninergic and melatoninergic systems are fully expressed in human skin.
We investigated the cutaneous expression of genes and enzymes responsible for the multistep conversion of tryptophan to serotonin and further to melatonin. Samples tested were human skin, normal and pathologic (basal cell carcinoma and melanoma), cultured normal epidermal and follicular melanocytes, melanoma cell lines, normal neonatal and adult epidermal and follicular keratinocytes, squamous ...
متن کاملPerfusion in hamster skin treated with glycerol.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The objective of this article is to quantify the effect of hyper-osmotic agent (glycerol) on blood velocity in hamster skin blood vessels measured with a dynamic imaging technique, laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI). STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study a dorsal skin-flap window was implanted on the hamster skin. The hyper-osmotic drug, that is, glycero...
متن کاملAlteration of the serotoninergic system in fatal familial insomnia.
We read with interest that Wanschitz and colleagues found a substantial increase in tryptophan hydroxylase-immunoreactive neurons in the pons (superior central nucleus) and medulla (raphe obscurus nucleus) of fatal familial insomnia (FFI) patients, suggesting that a serotoninergic system impairment represents the functional substrate of some typical FFI symptoms. We report the lumbar cerebrospi...
متن کاملRole of the serotoninergic system in the sodium appetite control.
The present article reviews the role of the serotoninergic system in the regulation of the sodium appetite. Data from the peripheral and icv administration of serotoninergic (5-HTergic) agents showed the participation of 5-HT2/3 receptors in the modulation of sodium appetite. These observations were extended with the studies carried out after brain serotonin depletion, lesions of DRN and during...
متن کاملSerotoninergic Systems in Anxiety
Most work in the neurochemistry of anxiety has focused on the monoamines 5-HT and NA, the GABA-benzodiazepine (BDZ) receptor complex and a number of unrelated challenge compounds that are known to provoke anxiety and/or panic (e.g. cholecystokinin, sodium lactate, caffeine) . Interest in the GABAergic; 5-HTergic and NAergic systems originates from the clinical efficacy of compounds affecting th...
