Decreased serotonin transporter immunoreactivity in the human hypothalamic infundibular nucleus of overweight subjects
CONTEXT That serotonin plays a role in the regulation of feeding behavior and energy metabolism has been known for a long time. Serotonin transporters (SERT) play a crucial role in serotonin signaling by regulating its availability in the synaptic cleft. The neuroanatomy underlying serotonergic signaling in humans is largely unknown, and until now, SERT immunoreactivity in relation to body weig...
متن کاملArginine vasopressin immunoreactivity is decreased in the hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus of subjects with suprasellar tumors.
Suprasellar tumors with compression of the optic chiasm are associated with an impaired sleep-wake rhythm. We hypothesized that this reflects a disorder of the biological clock of the human brain, the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), which is located just above the optic chiasm. In order to test this hypothesis, we investigated the expression of two key neuropeptides of the SCN, that is, arginine...
متن کاملSomatostatin 1-12 immunoreactivity is decreased in the hypothalamic lateral tuberal nucleus of Huntington's disease patients.
The hypothalamic lateral tuberal nucleus (NTL) can be recognized in man and higher primates, only. The function of this nucleus is unknown, but the NTL is affected in a variety of human neurodegenerative diseases, including Huntington's disease (HD) and Alzheimer's disease. In the present study we demonstrate an abundant presence of somatostatin 1-12 (SST1-12) immunoreactivity in both neurites ...

Impulsivity, gender, and the platelet serotonin transporter in healthy subjects
The present study explored the possible relationships between impulsivity, gender, and a peripheral serotonergic marker, the platelet serotonin (5-HT) transporter (SERT), in a group of 32 healthy subjects. The impulsivity was measured by means of the Barratt Impulsivity Scale, version 11 (BIS-11), a widely used self-report questionnaire, and the platelet SERT was evaluated by means of the speci...
