Journal ArticleDOI

Expression and 1,4-dihydropyridine-binding properties of brain L-type calcium channel isoforms.

TL;DR: Small differences in their binding pockets may allow development of isoform-selective modulators for LTCCs and that, because of their very low expression, Cav.1.1 and Cav1.4 are unlikely to serve as drug targets to treat CNS diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Magnesium-deficient diet alters depression- and anxiety-related behavior in mice—influence of desipramine and Hypericum perforatum extract

TL;DR: It is reported that Mg-depletion leads to enhanced depression- and anxiety-related behavior in mice, which was further validated by the reversibility of the behavioral changes by known antidepressant and anxiolytic substances.
Journal ArticleDOI

The central and basolateral amygdala are critical sites of neuropeptide Y/Y2 receptor-mediated regulation of anxiety and depression.

TL;DR: Evidence is found of the highly site-specific nature of the Y2-mediated function of NPY in the modulation of anxiety- and depression-related behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional Properties of a Newly Identified C-terminal Splice Variant of Cav1.3 L-type Ca2+ Channels

TL;DR: The discovery of a novel short splice variant that is expressed at high levels in the brain but not in the heart is described and may help to fine tune Ca2+ channel signaling and, in the case of short variants lacking a functional C-terminal modulation, prevent excessiveCa2+ accumulation during burst firing in neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Magnesium deficiency induces anxiety and HPA axis dysregulation: modulation by therapeutic drug treatment.

TL;DR: The present findings demonstrate the robustness and validity of the Mg2+ deficiency model as a mouse model of enhanced anxiety, showing sensitivity to treatment with anxiolytics and antidepressants and it is suggested that dysregulations in the HPA axis may contribute to the hyper-emotionality in response to dietary induced hypomagnesaemia.
