The potential role of serotonergic mechanisms in the spinal oxytocin-induced antinociception
2016, NeuropeptidesCitation Excerpt :We cannot explain this result, but we need to keep in mind that serotonin exerts complex effects, depending on the dose used, and the receptor(s) and neuronal population activated. As previously demonstrated (Todorovic and Anderson, 1992), spinal 5-HT decreases the activity of C-fibers (particularly after 10 min; Fig. 5E, F and H). This inhibition was clearly enhanced by the PVN stimulation when the dose of 5-HT was 50 nmol (Fig. 5H).
Effects of xaliproden, a 5-HT<inf>1A</inf> agonist, on mechanical allodynia caused by chemotherapeutic agents in mice
2013, European Journal of PharmacologyCitation Excerpt :Thus, changes in the expression of these channels may be responsible for the oxaliplatin-induced increase of mechanical hypersensitivity of primary afferents. The DRG neurons have been shown to be hyperpolarized by 5-HT1A receptor agonists (Todorovic and Anderson, 1992). In the present study, the mRNA expression of the 5-HT1A receptor was shown in the mouse DRG.
Sex differences in the expression of serotonin-synthesizing enzymes in mouse trigeminal ganglia
2011, NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :If 5-HT was being released from dural afferents and acting on 5-HT1B or 5-HT1D receptors on blood vessels or sensory nerves then it could ameliorate some of the sensory inputs contributing to migraine in a manner analogous to triptans. However, 5-HT has complex effects on sensory neuron function, acting through a suite of receptors to modulate the activity of potassium channels (Todorovic and Anderson, 1992), calcium channels (Del Mar et al., 1994), tetrodotoxin-resistant sodium channels (Cardenas et al., 1997), the hyperpolarization-activated cation current Ih (Cardenas et al., 1999), TRPV1 (Ohta et al., 2006), and intracellular calcium (Loyd et al., 2011), any of which could act to modulate the excitability of sensory neurons. Within the trigeminal system, the application of 5-HT alone or as part of an “inflammatory soup” sensitizes meningeal nociceptors (Zhang et al., 2007), whereas 5-HT also inhibits primary afferent neurotransmission in the trigeminal dorsal horn (Travagli and Williams, 1996).
Taltirelin, a thyrotropin-releasing hormone analog, alleviates mechanical allodynia through activation of descending monoaminergic neurons in persistent inflammatory pain
2011, Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :Application of 5-HT causes hyperpolarization of dorsal horn neurons, which is mimicked by 5-HT1A agonists and blocked by 5-HT1A antagonists (Tan and Mileti, 1992). Furthermore, 5-HT1A agonists hyperpolarize capsaicin-sensitive dorsal root ganglion neurons (Todorovic and Anderson, 1992). Colpaert et al. (2002) reported that 5-HT1A receptor activation reduces allodynia in the inflammation- and nerve-injury-induced persistent pain models.
The role of peripheral 5-HT<inf>1A</inf>, 5-HT<inf>1B</inf>, 5-HT<inf>1D</inf>, 5-HT<inf>1E</inf> and 5-HT<inf>1F</inf> serotonergic receptors in the reduction of nociception in rats
2010, NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :These data suggest the presence of 5-HT1A receptors in peripheral terminals of primary sensory afferent fibers. Accordingly, several lines of electrophysiological (Todorovic and Anderson, 1992), pharmacological (Laporte et al., 1995) and molecular biology (Zhang et al., 2002; Liu et al., 2005) evidence suggest that 5-HT1A receptors are present in primary afferent neurons. Our results also agree with a recent study in knock out mice showing that 5-HT1A receptors mediate an endogenous inhibitory control of heat-evoked nociception (Kayser et al., 2007).
