CD26 exhibits a dipeptidylpeptidase-IV function (DPPIV) which regulates neuropeptide activity by N-terminal processing. Because abnormal plasma DPPIV was associated in mammals with behavioral changes, we examined the behavior of CD26-/- mice resulting from targeted inactivation of the gene. These

1. Using simple animal tests, "behavioural" and "biochemical" aspects of depression, anxiolysis, disinhibition, psychostimulation and sedation were investigated in mice using a variety of antidepressant drugs. 2. Dothiepin and mianserin (16 and 32 mg/kg), fluoxetine (32 and 64 mg/kg), maprotiline

BACKGROUND Taurine is a conditionally-essential amino acid that is found in high concentrations in the CNS and is essential for growth and survival of neurons. Taurine had been clinically tested in a number of diseases with variable results. In the context of neuropsychiatry, taurine was found to be

OBJECTIVE The pharmacological profile of escitalopram, the S-(+)-enantiomer of citalopram, was studied and compared with citalopram and the R-(-)-enantiomer, R-citalopram. METHODS Inhibition of the serotonin transporter (5-HTT) was studied in COS-1 cells expressing the human 5-HTT (h-5-HTT) and in

Anxiety and depression are debilitating, costly psychological disorders that account for $133 billion in direct medical expenses per year in the United States. Finding alternative means of treatment to reduce the personal and financial burden for patients with these disorders, while maintaining

Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), produced in the intestine and hindbrain, is known for its glucoregulatory and appetite suppressing effects. GLP-1 agonists are in clinical use for treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. GLP-1, however, may also affect brain areas associated with emotionality

The behavioral profiles of five clinically used selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) citalopram, paroxetine, sertraline, fluvoxamine and fluoxetine, have been compared in animal models of antidepressant (mouse forced swim test), anxiolytic (exploration of black and white test box and

UNASSIGNED Reversible cerebral vasoconstrictive syndrome (RCVS) has characteristic clinical features, brain imaging and Angiographic features. The majority of RCVS cases are associated with the use of antidepressants, polysubstance abuse, and nasal decongestants. We here present a case that

BACKGROUND Some features of Parkinson's disease are exacerbated by stress and anxiety and it is important to understand the effects of dopamine receptor agonists on measures of anxiety. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of the dopamine D2/D3 receptor agonist ropinirole in models of
