Acoustic trauma triggers upregulation of serotonin receptor genes.
Hearing loss induces plasticity in excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitter systems in auditory brain regions. Excitatory-inhibitory balance is also influenced by a range of neuromodulatory regulatory systems, but less is known about the effects of auditory damage on these networks. In this work, we studied the effects of acoustic trauma on neuromodulatory plasticity in the auditory midbrain ...
متن کاملSerotonin receptor (5-HT 2A) and catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) gene polymorphisms: triggers of fibromyalgia?
INTRODUCTION Fibromyalgia is a rheumatic syndrome characterized by diffuse and chronic pain associated with fatigue, sleep disorders, anxiety, depression, memory loss, and dizziness. Although the physiological mechanisms that control fibromyalgia have not been precisely established, neuroendocrine, genetic or molecular factors may be involved in fibromyalgia. OBJECTIVE The aim of the present ...
متن کاملNo association between polymorphisms in four serotonin receptor genes, serotonin transporter gene and alcohol-related suicide.
BACKGROUND Serotonin (5-HT) is an important neurotransmitter with wide-ranging functions. Its disfunction in the central nervous system seems to play an important role in many psychiatric disorders and suicidal behavior. The objective of this study was to examine the association between polymorphisms in different serotonin receptor genes (HTR): HTR1A (polymorphism -1019C>G), HTR1B (polymorphism...
متن کاملUpregulation of Endothelin-1/Endothelin A Receptor Expression Correlates with Heparanase Expression in Ovarian Carcinoma
Background: Heparanase and endothelin-1/endothelin A receptor (ET-1/ETAR) expressions increase in cancer. This condition enhances tumor progression and correlates with poor survival. Limited data are documented regarding the role of heparanase and ET-1/ETAR in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). We sought to characterize the correlation between heparanase and ET-1/ETAR in EOC.Methods: Thirty patie...
متن کاملUpregulation of hepatic prolactin receptor gene expression by 17beta-estradiol following trauma-hemorrhage.
Although studies show protective effects of 17beta-estradiol (E2) or prolactin (PRL) treatment in male rats after trauma-hemorrhage (TH), the mechanism of the salutary effects of these agents remains unknown. Because E2 modulates PRL receptor (PRL-R) expression in the liver, we examined whether E2 treatment after T-H has any effects on hepatic PLR-R gene expression. Male Sprague-Dawley rats wer...
