Human obesity is associated with a chronic elevation in brain 5-hydroxytryptamine turnover.
The afferent signals that evoke changes in energy intake with regard to body weight regulation are presumed to arise partly from body stores, with the most likely candidate being adipose tissue depots. However, clinical investigation of the neuronal circuitry involved in the central nervous system's processing of such satiety signals remains largely unexplored. Using percutaneously placed cathe...
متن کاملInhibition of cell division in rat lenses by prostaglandin E1.
Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) suppresses mitotic activity in the epithelial cells of rat lenses maintained in organ culture. At a concentration of 5 x 10(-5)M, PGE1 caused gradual inhibition of mitosis which was first evident after six hours of incubation and was maximum at 50 per cent of control values after 16 and 24 hours in culture. During this period prostaglandin-treated lenses showed no change...
متن کامل5-Hydroxytryptamine causes depression of twitch height in the partially curarized rat phrenic nerve hemidiaphragm preparation.
5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) has significant effects on the skeletal neuromuscular junction. We have evaluated the potential neuromodulatory effects of 5-HT on the rat hemidiaphragm using a non-fatiguing pattern of stimulation (0.3 Hz) in a partially curarized preparation using tubocurarine (EC50 = 560 (range 400-650) nmol litre-1). 5-HT was added to the partially curarized preparation in the fol...

متن کاملImmobilization stress increases serotonin turnover in the extended brain regions in the rat.
Male Wistar rats were exposed to immobilization stress for 30 to 120 min. Changes in the levels of serotonin (5-HT) and its major metabolite, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) were determined in six brain regions. Immobilization stress virtually did not affect 5-HT levels at any time with the exception of a significant increase in 5-HT levels in the amygdala at 30 min. In contrast, within 30 ...
