Stress-related negative affectivity and genetically altered serotonin transporter function: evidence of synergism in shaping risk of depression.
CONTEXT Genetic moderation of the depression-inducing effects of stressful life events (SLEs) has been reported, but findings suggest that genes may not moderate the effects of SLEs per se but instead may moderate the risk of depression associated with the stable tendency to develop negative emotions in response to minor environmental experiences. OBJECTIVE To examine whether a functional pol...
متن کاملWork stress and negative affectivity: a multi-method study.
BACKGROUND In the literature negative affectivity (NA) is considered both a confounding variable as well as a predictive variable for work-related stress. However, a common limitation in this line of research relates to the use of self-report measures for determining NA, perceived stressors and psychophysical strain. AIMS To test, using a multi-method study, a theoretical model that correlate...
متن کاملThe Serotonin Transporter and Platelet Function
August 2010 Volume 10, Issue 4 T he serotonin transporter (SERT) on platelets is a primary mechanism for serotonin (5HT) uptake from the blood plasma. Alteration in plasma 5HT level is associated with a number of cardiovascular diseases and disorders. Therefore, the regulation of the transporter’s activity represents a key mechanism to stabilize the concentration of plasma 5HT. There is a bipha...
متن کاملThe roles of sex and serotonin transporter levels in age- and stress-related emotionality in mice.
Mood disorders are influenced by genetic make-up and differentially affect men and women. The s/l promoter polymorphism in the serotonin transporter (SERT) gene moderates both trait emotion and the vulnerability to develop depressive states in humans. Similarly, male mice lacking SERT (Knockout/KO) display an elevated emotionality phenotype. We now report that the SERT-KO phenotype is maintaine...
متن کاملAge-related effect of serotonin transporter genotype on amygdala and prefrontal cortex function in adolescence.
The S and LG alleles of the serotonin transporter-linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR) lower serotonin transporter expression. These low-expressing alleles are linked to increased risk for depression and brain activation patterns found in depression (increased amygdala activation and decreased amygdala-prefrontal cortex connectivity). Paradoxically, serotonin transporter blockade relieves depre...
