The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship of Cys23Ser 5-HT2c receptor gene polymorphism and the duration of IELT in men with LPE. Therefore, a prospective study was conducted in 64 Dutch Caucasian men with LPE. Baseline IELT during coitus was assessed by stopwatch over a 1-month period. All men were genotyped for Cys23Ser 5-HT2c receptor gene polymorphism. Allele frequencies and genotypes of Cys and Ser variants of 5-HT2c receptor gene polymorphism were determined. Association between Cys/Cys and Ser/Ser genotypes and the natural logarithm of the IELT in men with LPE were.investigated. As a result, the geometric mean, median and natural mean IELT were 25.2, 27.0, 33.9s, respectively. Of all men, 20.0%, 10.8%, 23.1% and 41.5% ejaculated within 10, 10-20, 20-30 and 30-60s after vaginal penetration. Of the 64 men, the Cys/Cys and Ser/Ser genotype frequency for the Cys23Ser polymorphism of the 5-HT2c receptor gene was 81% and 19%, respectively. The geometric mean IELT of the wildtypes （Cys/Cys） is significantly lower （22.6s; 95% CI 18.3-27.8s） than in male homozygous mutants （Ser/Ser） （40.4s; 95% CI 20.3-80.4s） （P = 0.03）. It is concluded that Cys23Ser 5-HT2c receptor gene polymorphism is associated with the IELT in men with LPE. Men with Cys/Cys genotype have shorter IELTs than men with Ser/Ser genotypes.展开更多
目的探索5-HT2C受体在慢性间歇性饮酒导致的认知损害中的作用。方法建立小鼠慢性间歇性饮酒模型,采用5项选择连续反应时间任务(5-choice serial reaction time task,5-CSRTT)评估小鼠认知能力变化。定量检测小鼠内侧前额叶皮质(Medial P...目的探索5-HT2C受体在慢性间歇性饮酒导致的认知损害中的作用。方法建立小鼠慢性间歇性饮酒模型,采用5项选择连续反应时间任务(5-choice serial reaction time task,5-CSRTT)评估小鼠认知能力变化。定量检测小鼠内侧前额叶皮质(Medial Prefrontal Cortex,mPFC)中脑源性神经营养因子(Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor,BDNF)和5-羟色胺受体2C(5-Hydroxytryptamine Receptor 2C,5-HT2C)受体的表达。采用5-HT2C受体激动剂干预研究。结果模型小鼠血酒精浓度为(189.2±4.633)mg·dL-1,且饮酒组小鼠mPFC内BDNF(P<0.01)及5-HT2C受体(P<0.01)受体表达均下降。慢性间歇性饮酒可导致小鼠5-CSRTT准确率下降(P<0.01),遗漏率(P<0.01)和过早反应增加(P<0.01),而RO60-0175可逆转酒精引起的准确率下降(P<0.05),并减少饮酒导致的遗漏率增加(P<0.01),但对过早反应没有作用。结论慢性间歇性饮酒使小鼠冲动性增加的行为与mPFC内5-HT2C受体和BDNF的表达减少有关。展开更多

The changes of 5-HT5A and 5-HT2c immunolabeling induced by steroids in the hippocampus ofovariectomized rats were studied in this work. Densitometric analysis in rat hippocampi were carried out for adjacent brain coronal immunolabeled sections after treatment with subcutaneous injections of vehicle, estradiol, progesterone or the combination of both steroids in ovariectomized rats. Exposure to estradiol and the combination of estradiol and progesterone significantly reduced the 5-HT5A-like immunosignal in the CA 1 region while progesterone did not induce changes. On the other hand, exposure to the combination of estradiol and progesterone or estradiol alone increased the 5-HT2c immunosignal in the same region. These results indicate that estradiol is involved in the discrete regulation of serotonin receptors 5-HT5A and 5-HT2c in rat hippocampus.展开更多
