Genetically obese Zucker rats are hyperphagic, hyperinsulinemic and hyperlipemic. In order to investigate pathophysiological mechanisms underlying hyperphagia in these animals, monoamine metabolism and turnover were studied in discrete hypothalamic nuclei known to participate in the control of
5-Hydroxytryptamine 2C (5-HT2C) receptor is one of the major targets of anti-obesity agents, due to its role in regulation of appetite. In the present study, the 70% EtOH extract of the roots of Bupleurum chinense was revealed to have agonistic activity on 5-HT2C receptor, and the subsequent
The effects of intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration of 5-hydroxytryptamine creatinine sulphate complex (5-HT), 35-140 nmol, on food intake in genetically obese (ob/ob) and lean mice were investigated. 5-HT (70-140 nmol) decreased feeding in a dose-related manner on 1 h and 2 h postinjection
Obese persons are often reported to have marked cravings for simple carbohydrate-rich foods. Because of the proposed relationships between protein/carbohydrate selection, plasma tryptophan (TRP) to large neutral amino acids (LNAA) ratios, and brain 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) neurotransmission, we
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
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a serious problem in the world. 5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, serotonin) plays an important role in obesity, glucose control and insulin resistance. The polymorphism of the serotonin transporter gene linked promoter region (5-HTTLPR) might influence BACKGROUND Studies have shown that bariatric surgery, such as sleeve gastrectomy (SG), has an adverse effect on bone, including decreased bone mineral density (BMD) and bone metabolism. Peripheral 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) has an adverse regulatory effect on bone formation. Here, we assessed
The central 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT; serotonin) system represents a fundamental component of the brain's control of energy homeostasis. Medications targeting the 5-HT pathway have been at the forefront of obesity treatment for the past 15 years. Pharmacological agents targeting 5-HT receptors
The percentage of overweight and obese person has increased markedly since several decays. Obesity is associated with increased risked factor for many diseases such as, diabetes, heart complications, arthritis and certain types of cancer. Feeding behavior is in controlled by a major interaction
BACKGROUND
5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is a potent intestinal secretagogue for chloride and a mediator of diarrhea in the carcinoid syndrome. 5-HT-induced chloride secretion is seen as a change in short circuit current (Isc) in muscle-stripped, chambered human jejunum. The aim of this study was to
Obese Zucker rats have a narrower and more collapsible upper airway compared with lean controls, similar to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients. Genioglossus (GG) muscle activity is augmented in awake OSA patients to compensate for airway narrowing, but the neural control of GG activity in obese
High body mass index (BMI) is associated with risk of diabetes. Lorcaserin is a selective 5-hydroxytryptamine 2C agonist which exerts robust benefits on long-term weight loss by suppressing appetite among adults with overweight or obesity. The magnitude of efficacy of lorcaserin for OBJECTIVE
We examined the potential impact of the 5-hydroxytryptamine 2A receptor (5-HT(2A)R) c.1438A>G promoter polymorphism on obesity and estimates of insulin, glucose as well as lipid metabolism.
METHODS
The genotypes and allelic frequencies of the 5-HT(2A)R c.1438A>G were examined with
