Journal ArticleDOI

A review of central 5-HT receptors and their function

TL;DR: A number of 5-HT receptor ligands are currently utilised, or are in clinical development, to reduce the symptoms of CNS dysfunction and the functional responses attributed to each receptor in the brain are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cytokine function in medication-naive first episode psychosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: A significant elevation in pro- inflammatory cytokine levels in the serum of patients with medication-naive first episode psychosis adds to the evidence of a pro-inflammatory immune deregulation in schizophrenia and suggests these cytokines should be the focus for further research in biomarkers of progress and extent of illness.
Journal ArticleDOI

5-HT3 receptors mediate inhibition of acetylcholine release in cortical tissue.

TL;DR: Evidence that a reduction in cortical cholinergic function can be effected in vitro by 5-HT3 receptors is provided and Radioligand binding studies show a high density of 5- HT3 receptors in theCholinergic-rich entorhinal cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI

The 5-HT3 receptor--the relationship between structure and function.

TL;DR: The relationship between the structure and the function of the 5-HT3 receptor is reviewed, describing recent studies that have identified numerous HTR3A and H TR3B gene polymorphisms that impact upon 5- HT3 receptor function, or expression, and consider their relevance to (patho)physiology.
Journal ArticleDOI

THE CONCISE GUIDE TO PHARMACOLOGY 2021/22: G protein-coupled receptors

Stephen P.H. Alexander, +154 more
TL;DR: The Concise Guide to PHARMACOLOGY 2021/22 as mentioned in this paper provides concise overviews, mostly in tabular format, of the key properties of nearly 1900 human drug targets with an emphasis on selective pharmacology (where available), plus links to the open access knowledgebase source of drug targets and their ligands.
