Effects of acute and chronic administration of the serotonin1A agonist buspirone on serotonin synthesis in the rat brain.

abstract：:Tachykinins play an important role in peripheral inflammatory diseases and disorders of the CNS. Most members of the tachykinin family are generated by alternative post-transcriptional splicing of the prepro-tachykinin (PPT) A gene. Here, we examined the simultaneous expression of PPT-A splice variants in individual n...
