Journal ArticleDOI
Effector pathway-dependent relative efficacy at serotonin type 2a and 2c receptors : evidence for agonist-directed trafficking of receptor stimulus
TL;DR: Concentration-response curves to 5-HT2C agonists were fit well by a three-state model of receptor activation, suggesting that two active receptor states may be sufficient to explain pathway-dependent agonist efficacy.
Journal Article
Characterization of the 5-hydroxytryptamine1a receptor-mediated inhibition of forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in guinea pig and rat hippocampal membranes.
M De Vivo,Saul Maayani +1 more
TL;DR: The concentration-response data show that the inhibition of forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in guinea pig and rat hippocampal membranes is mediated by a receptor with the characteristics of the 5-HT1A binding site, and it is proposed that this response is suitable for measuring activities and affinities of drugs acting at 5- HT1A receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tricyclic antidepressant drugs block histamine H2 receptor in brain.
Jack Peter Green,Saul Maayani +1 more
TL;DR: To test this hypothesis, four tricyclic antidepressants—representing four different structural types—were tested on the H2 receptor linked to adenylate cyclase in homogenates of the guinea pig hippocampus and cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Subtypes of receptors for serotonin.
TL;DR: Interest in the physiological functions of 5-hydroxytryptamine has increased steadily since its discovery in the intestine and in serum and a steady stream of investigations have described its possible functions in the periphery, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract and the cardiovascular system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple and interrelated functional asymmetries in rat brain
TL;DR: Different asymmetries appear to be organized along different dimensions in both the rat and human brains, with evidence of functional brain asymmetry.
