Methamphetamine- and 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine-induced behavioral changes in histamine H3-receptor knockout mice.
Histamine H(3) receptors inhibit the release of not only histamine itself, but also other neurotransmitters including dopamine. Previous papers have reported that histaminergic neurons inhibit psychostimulant-induced behavioral changes. To examine whether deficiency in histamine H(3) receptors influences psychostimulant-induced behavioral sensitization and reward, we examined locomotor activity...
متن کاملEffects of Electroacupuncture on Methamphetamine-Induced Behavioral Changes in Mice
Methamphetamine (METH) is a major drug of abuse worldwide, and no efficient therapeutic strategies for treating METH addiction are currently available. Continuous METH use can cause behavioral upregulation or psychosis. The dopaminergic pathways, particularly the neural circuitry from the ventral tegmental area to the nucleus accumbens (NAc), have a critical role in this behavioral stage. Acupu...
متن کاملInvestigating the Role of Serotonin in Methamphetamine Psychosis: Unaltered Behavioral Effects of Chronic Methamphetamine in 5-HT1A Knockout Mice
Methamphetamine (Meth) is a widely abused stimulant drug, but this abuse is associated with an increased risk of developing psychosis. In addition to its well-known action on brain dopamine, Meth also affects serotonergic (5-HT) neurons. The aim of this study was to investigate this role in mice, which lack one of the main serotonin receptors, the 5-HT1A receptor, which has been implicated in b...
متن کاملAnalysis of histamine receptor knockout mice in models of inflammation.
The diverse functions of histamine are mediated by four specific histamine receptor subtypes, which belong to the family of G-protein-coupled receptors. Here, we summarize data obtained with histamine-deficient L-histidine decarboxylase knockout and histamine receptor subtype knockout mice in inflammation models. Advantages and disadvantages of the knockout approaches compared with pharmacologi...
متن کاملHemodynamic changes in apolipoprotein E-knockout mice.
Apolipoprotein E-knockout (ApoE-KO) mice develop advanced atherosclerotic lesions by 1 yr of age and have been well characterized pathologically and morphologically, but little is known regarding their cardiovascular physiology and hemodynamics. We used noninvasive Doppler ultrasound to measure aortic and mitral blood velocity and aortic pulse-wave velocity in 13-mo-old ApoE-KO and wild-type (W...
