Journal ArticleDOI
Opposite effects mediated by CCKA and CCKB receptors in behavioural and hormonal studies in rats.
TL;DR: The results support the idea that CCKA and CCKB receptors exert an opposite influence not only upon the exploratory behaviour in rats but also upon the secretion of two anterior pituitary hormones, TSH and probably GH.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of N-methyl-d-aspartic acid and cholecystokinin receptors in apomorphine-induced aggressive behaviour in rats
Aavo Lang,Jaanus Harro,Andres Soosaar,Sulev Kõks,Vallo Volke,Lars Oreland,Michel Bourin,Eero Vasar,Jacques Bradwejn,Pekka T. Männistö +9 more
TL;DR: Repeated treatment with apomorphine seems to modify the function of dopamine D2 receptors without affecting their number or affinity, and a significant upregulation of [3H]pCCK-8 binding sites occurred in the frontal cortex and striatum, but a downregulation was observed in the hippocampus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolomics approach revealed robust changes in amino acid and biogenic amine signatures in patients with schizophrenia in the early course of the disease.

TL;DR: Elevated level of taurine and reduced level of proline and alpha-aminoadipic acid (alpha-AAA) were established as metabolites with significant change in AP-naïve FEP patients compared to CSs, and biomolecule profile alterations provide further insights into the pathophysiology of SCH spectrum disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rats with low exploratory activity in the elevated plus-maze have the increased expression of limbic system-associated membrane protein gene in the periaqueductal grey
TL;DR: It is likely that LSAMP plays a role in the regulation of exploratory behaviour of rats in the novel aversive environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mRNA expression profile of cytokines connected to the regulation of melanocyte functioning in vitiligo skin biopsy samples and peripheral blood mononuclear cells
Ene Reimann,Külli Kingo,Maire Karelson,Paula Reemann,Ulvi Loite,Helen Sulakatko,Maris Keermann,Kristi Raud,Kristi Abram,Eero Vasar,Eero Vasar,Helgi Silm,Sulev Kõks,Sulev Kõks +13 more
TL;DR: This study presents additional support for previous findings about the importance of IL-10 family cytokines in vitiligo, in particular the possible involvement ofIL-22 and suggests that further studies should be considered.
