The defense against pathogens is mediated by innate and adaptive immune mechanisms
that act in periphery and central nervous system (CNS). Outside the CNS, serotonin is found …

5‐Hydroxytryptamine, or serotonin, is a biogenic amine most noted for its role as a
neurotransmitter. Manipulation of serotonin in animal models was used as a tool for studying …

We tested the hypothesis that the 5-HT transporter (5-HTT) is present and functional in
peripheral arterial smooth muscle. In aorta and mesenteric resistance arteries, real time RT …

Cardiac responsiveness to neurohumoral stimulation is altered in congestive heart failure
(CHF). In chronic CHF, the left ventricle has become sensitive to serotonin because of …

Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is a biogenic monoamine that acts as a
neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, local mediator in the gut and vasoactive …

Background—Augmented vasoconstriction to serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine [5-HT]) in
atherosclerotic vessels plays a crucial role in the development of myocardial ischemia. We …

Fifteen years have elapsed since we published this article focusing on the serotonin
transporter (SERT) 3. Although developed as a review, this report ultimately included …

Two distinct binding sites for serotonin have been identified in brain tissue and labeled 5-HT
1 and 5-HT 2 binding sites. The receptor mediating contractions of several types of vascular …

The importance and the various effects of serotonin (5-HT) in cardiovascular diseases are
reviewed, with particular emphasis on the involvement of 5-HT 2 receptors as mediators of …

Contractile synergism between serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) and other
vasoconstrictor substances has been observed in a number of peripheral and …
