RÉSUMÉ:Biologie des récepteurs sérotoninergiques.Les récepteurs sérotoninergiques sont très hétérogènes. On les a regroupés en 7 familles différentes (5-HT1 – 5-HT7). À l’exception de 5HT3 qui appartient à la famille des récepteurs canaux, tous les autres appartiennent à la famille des récepteurs couplés à la protéine G et chaque famille a des caractéristiques structurales, pharmacologiques et ...

The neuroleptic/dopamine receptor, with its picomolar affinity for potent neuroleptics, is the functional dopamine receptor of the brain. This receptor has been termed the D2 dopamine receptor, and it inhibits or interferes with dopamine-stimulated adenylate cyclase. This D2 receptor has two states, each having different affinity for dopamine. The high-affinity state, termed D2 hlg , has a 10 n...

Deficiency of Vitamin B12 can have many neurologic sequelae including periperhal neuropathy, visual disturbances, mood and memory changes and subacute combined degeneration (SCD) of the spinal cord1.
