Because monoamine reuptake inhibitors and releasing agents both increase extracellular neurotransmitter levels, establishing in vivo experimental criteria for their classification has been difficult. Using microdialysis in the hypothalamus of unanesthetized rats, we provide evidence that serotonin- (5-HT) selective and nonselective reuptake inhibitors can be distinguished from the 5-HT-releasin...
In the human adrenal cortex, serotonin (5-HT) is contained in mast-like cells, and we have shown that 5-HT stimulates aldosterone secretion, suggesting that 5-HT may control glomerulosa cells through a paracrine mechanism. Concurrently, the presence of 5-hydroxyindolacetic acid in human adrenocortical extracts indicates that 5-HT may be metabolized after local release by mast cells. The aim of ...
5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, serotonin) type 3 (5-HT(3)) receptors belong to the alcohol-sensitive superfamily of Cys-loop ligand-gated ion channels, and they are thought to play an important role in alcoholism. Alcohols with small molecular volumes increase the amplitude of currents evoked by low 5-HT concentrations and shift the 5-HT concentration-response curve for 5-HT(3) receptor activation ...
We examined the in vivo effects of the hallucinogen 4-iodo-2,5-dimethoxyamphetamine (DOI). DOI suppressed the firing rate of 7 of 12 dorsal raphe (DR) serotonergic (5-HT) neurons and partially inhibited the rest (ED(50) = 20 microg/kg, i.v.), an effect reversed by M100907 (5-HT(2A) antagonist) and picrotoxinin (GABA(A) antagonist). DOI (1 mg/kg, s.c.) reduced the 5-HT release in medial prefront...
OBJECTIVE Excitatory amino acids and serotonin are involved in the control of gonadotropin secretion. The actions of these neurotransmitters are interconnected and recently we have reported that 5-HT(1) and 5-HT(2) receptor agonists blunted (+/-)-alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid (AMPA)-stimulated GH secretion in prepubertal rats. The present experiments were carried out ...
Extracellular 5-HT in the anterior hypothalamus/preoptic area (AH/POA) and caudate nucleus of the freely moving cat was measured using in vivo brain microdialysis. Administration of 8-OH-DPAT, a 5-HT1A receptor agonist that decreases 5-HT neuronal activity, decreased extracellular 5-HT in both brain areas. Extracellular 5-HT levels were also examined in relationship to the sleep-wake cycle, bec...
Genetic variation in 5-HT transporter (5-HTT) expression is a key risk factor for psychiatric disorder and has been linked to changes in the expression of certain 5-HT receptor subtypes. This study investigated the effect of variation in 5-HTT expression on 5-HT₄ receptor levels in both 5-HTT knockout (KO) and overexpressing (OE) mice using autoradiography with the selective 5-HT₄ receptor radi...
Activation of neurons in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) plays a critical role in stress and anxiety-related behaviors. Previously, we have shown that serotonin (5-HT) can directly modulate BNST neuronal excitability by an action at postsynaptic receptors. In this study we built upon that work to examine the effects of 5-HT on excitatory neurotransmission in an in vitro rat BNST ...
BACKGROUND Alterations of serotonin neurotransmission are implicated in both mood disorders and schizophrenia. Specific serotonin-receptor-based abnormalities in these psychiatric illnesses have been intensively studied; however, it has been difficult to draw any conclusions because of a lack of consensus. These inconsistencies have most likely arisen from the unavailability of selective ligand...
Recent advances in peripheral taste physiology now suggest that the classic linear view of information processing within the taste bud is inadequate and that paracrine processing, although undemonstrated, may be an essential feature of peripheral gustatory transduction. Taste receptor cells (TRCs) express multiple neurotransmitters of unknown function that could potentially participate in a par...
