Mariangela Serra,Maria Giuseppina Pisu,Martino Littera,Giacomo Papi,Enrico Sanna,Francesca Tuveri,Luca Usala,Robert H. Purdy,Giovanni Biggio +8 more
TL;DR: A psychological role for neurosteroids and GABAA receptors in the modulation of emotional behavior and mood is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Opposite effects of short- versus long-term administration of fluoxetine on the concentrations of neuroactive steroids in rat plasma and brain.
Mariangela Serra,Giuseppina M. Pisu,Michela Muggironi,Viviana Parodo,Giacomo Papi,Roberta Sari,Laura Dazzi,Francesca Spiga,Robert H. Purdy,Giovanni Biggio +9 more
TL;DR: A repetitive increase in the brain concentrations of neuroactive steroids may contribute to the therapeutic action of fluoxetine, as shown in rats chronically treated with this drug.
Journal ArticleDOI
Binding of [3H]CB 34, a selective ligand for peripheral benzodiazepine receptors, to rat brain membranes
M.Giuseppina Pisu,Giacomo Papi,Patrizia Porcu,Giuseppe Trapani,Andrea Latrofa,Giovanni Biggio,Mariangela Serra +6 more
TL;DR: The 2-phenyl-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivative CB 34 is a potent and selective ligand for peripheral benzodiazepine receptors and should be proven useful for studies of the roles of these receptors.
