Parallel regulation by olanzapine of the patterns of expression of 5-HT2A and D3 receptors in rat central nervous system and blood cells
Patterns of protein expression can be used to identify biomarkers of disease, prognosis or treatment response. Peripheral 5-HT2A and D3 receptors have been proposed as protein markers in schizophrenia. We investigated the possible parallel regulation of these candidate biomarkers in central nervous...

Zusammenfassung: | Patterns of protein expression can be used to identify biomarkers of disease, prognosis or treatment response. Peripheral 5-HT2A and D3 receptors have been proposed as protein markers in schizophrenia. We investigated the possible parallel regulation of these candidate biomarkers in central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral blood cells by a comparative study of the effects of antipsychotic treatment on the expression of the receptors in both systems in rats. Acute (24 and 48 h) and subchronic (16 days) treatment of rats with olanzapine induced a significant decrease in 5-HT2A receptor density both in frontal cortex (Bmax=76.2%, 83.0% and 46.0% of control after 24 h, 48 h and 16 days of treatment, respectively; P |
