Journal ArticleDOI
l-Arginine abolishes the anxiolytic-like effect of diazepam in the elevated plus-maze test in rats
TL;DR: It is concluded that a suppression of NO synthase activity may be important in the anxiolytic-like effect of benzodiazepines, however, diazepam does not inhibit No synthase directly, but may affect NO synth enzyme activity indirectly via some unknown mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relation between increased anxiety and reduced expression of alpha1 and alpha2 subunits of GABAA receptors in Wfs1-deficient mice
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that increased anxiety of Wfs1-deficient mice is probably linked to reduced expression of Gabra1 and Gabra2 genes in the frontal cortex and temporal lobe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cholecystokinin2 receptor-deficient mice display altered function of brain dopaminergic system.
Sulev Kõks,Vallo Volke,Alar Veraksitš,Kertu Rünkorg,Tarvo Sillat,Urho Abramov,Michel Bourin,Marko Huotari,Pekka T. Männistö,Toshimistu Matsui,Eero Vasar +10 more
TL;DR: The targeted mutation of the CCK2 receptor gene induced gene dose-dependent changes in the activity of the dopaminergic system and the density of dopamine D2 receptors was significantly increased in the striatum of homozygous (–/–) animals compared with wild-type (+/+) mice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Subdomain-mediated axon-axon signaling and chemoattraction cooperate to regulate afferent innervation of the lateral habenula
Ewoud R.E. Schmidt,Sara Brignani,Youri Adolfs,Suzanne Lemstra,Jeroen Demmers,Marina Vidaki,Amber Lee Skye Donahoo,Kersti Lilleväli,Eero Vasar,Linda J. Richards,Domna Karagogeos,Sharon M. Kolk,R.J. Pasterkamp +12 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the lateral subnucleus of the habenula (lHb) determines its own afferent innervation by sending out efferent projections that express the cell adhesion molecule LAMP to reciprocally collect and guide dopaminergic afferents to the lHb-a phenomenon the authors term subdomain-mediated axon-axon signaling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association analysis of IL19, IL20 and IL24 genes in palmoplantar pustulosis.
Külli Kingo,Rotraut Mössner,Sulev Kõks,Ranno Rätsep,Ullrich Krüger,Eero Vasar,Kristian Reich,Helgi Silm +7 more
TL;DR: Interleukin 19, IL‐20 and IL‐24 belong to the IL‐10 cytokine family and have been identified to play a role in the regulation of epidermal functions and in inflammation.
