Disruption of the nonneuronal tph1 gene demonstrates the importance of peripheral serotonin in cardiac function

TL;DR: It is established that the neuronal tph2 is expressed in neurons of the raphe nuclei and of the myenteric plexus, whereas the nonneuronal tph1, as detected by β-galactosidase expression, is in the pineal gland and the enterochromaffin cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serotonin Has a Key Role in Pathogenesis of Experimental Colitis

TL;DR: 5-HT is involved in the pathogenesis of inflammation in experimental colitis, indicating a critical role for nuclear factor kappaB signaling in 5-HT-mediated activation of immune cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Life without peripheral serotonin: insights from tryptophan hydroxylase 1 knockout mice reveal the existence of paracrine/autocrine serotonergic networks.

TL;DR: The objective of this review is to highlight the newly discovered functions played by the monoamine using the Tph1 KO murine model and to outline current findings that led to the discovery of complete serotonergic systems in unexpected organs.
