There is evidence indicating that density of 5-HT2A receptors is altered in brain regions of depressed suicide victims and in platelets of suicidal subjects with major depression or schizophrenia. Recent studies have also shown an association between the allele C of 102T/C polymorphism in the 5-HT2A
Serotonin increases the frequency and amplitude of spontaneous contractions and leads to an increase in the basal tonus of the locust oviducts. These effects were dose-dependent and were seen on both the non-innnervated and innervated portion of the oviducts. Vertebrate type serotonin agonists and a
A 2A adenosine receptors are expressed on immune cells including neutrophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils, monocytes/macrophages, and mast cells. Activation of A 2A receptors on these cells stimulates an increase in [cyclic AMP] i and causes a diminution of inflammatory responses. In mast cells, degran
