5 hydroxytryptamine/inflammation

5-Hydroxytryptamine(1A) (5-HT1A) receptor activation reduces body temperature partially by dilating the thermoregulatory cutaneous vascular bed, thereby increasing heat transfer to the environment. Constriction of this vascular bed, with consequent reduction of heat transfer to the environment,

The present study examined the contribution of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) to acute peripheral inflammatory pain in rats. We used formalin test in this study. After formalin injection into the rat hind paw, biphasic pain-related behavior (phases 1 and 2) was observed. A microdialysis study revealed

Antidepressants are increasingly recognized to have anti-inflammatory properties in addition to their ability to treat major depressive disorders. To explore if engagement of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptors was required for the anti-inflammatory effect of the tetracyclic antidepressant

The anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive activities of a novel quipazine derivative 2(4-(3-chloropropyl)piperazinyl) quinoline (AAL-13), a selective inhibitor of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) reuptake, has been examined. Anti-inflammatory activity was assessed by mesuring the inhibition of a cotton

Studies have shown that 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) plays an important role in the descending pathway of pain modulation from brainstem to the spinal cord. Using selective 5-HT receptor antagonists, the present study investigated which type of 5-HT receptor(s) in the spinal cord was involved in the

The anti-inflammatory activity of quercetin was evaluated through serotonin-induced rat-paw edema. The experiments showed that quercetin had an important effect on acute inflammatory processes. Docking of serotonin and quercetin into the homology model of the 5-Hydroxytryptamine Type 2 Receptor

The effects of anti-inflammatory drugs on ileal 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) metabolic dynamics at 72 h after a single administration of cisplatin were investigated in rats. Cisplatin 5 mg/kg i.p. caused pathological changes, with an inflammatory response occurring 72 h after its administration. The

BACKGROUND The main symptom of postoperative ileus (POI) is an intestinal motility disorder in which monocytes/macrophages and neutrophils play crucial roles. Prokinetic 5-hydroxytryptamine 4 receptor (5-HT₄R) agonists and dopamine receptor antagonists are potential therapeutic agents for directly

Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is an important mediator of every major gut-related function. Recent investigations also suggest that 5-HT can influence the development and severity of inflammation within the gut, particularly in the setting of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). To review the

The present study was aimed at evaluating the extent of dysfunction of the enteroendocrine and enteric nervous system, as indicated by changes in tissue levels of monoamines (dopamine, DA; norepinephrine, NE; 5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) and their precursors and metabolites in the colonic mucosa of

The G protein-coupled serotonin 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)(2A) receptor is primarily recognized for its role in brain neurotransmission, where it mediates a wide variety of functions, including certain aspects of cognition. However, there is significant expression of this receptor in peripheral

We have evaluated the possible underlying mechanisms of immobilization stress-induced analgesia (SIA) by behavioral cross-tolerance studies and molecular studies. In the behavioral studies, the cross-tolerance between single or repeated immobilization SIA and the antinociceptive effects of
