  1. ncbi Comparison of the effects of estradiol and progesterone on serotonergic function
    Saloua Benmansour
    Department of Pharmacology, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, 78229 3900, USA
    Biol Psychiatry 71:633-41. 2012
    ..In this study, behavioral consequences, as well as receptor mechanisms underlying these hormonal effects, were investigated...
  2. ncbi Effects of chronic antidepressant treatments on serotonin transporter function, density, and mRNA level
    S Benmansour
    Department of Pharmacology, University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio, Texas 78284, USA
    J Neurosci 19:10494-501. 1999
    ..Based on these results, it appears that the SERT is downregulated by chronic administration of SSRIs but not other types of antidepressants; furthermore, the downregulation is not caused by decreases in SERT gene expression...
  3. ncbi Serotonin clearance in vivo is altered to a greater extent by antidepressant-induced downregulation of the serotonin transporter than by acute blockade of this transporter
    Saloua Benmansour
    Department of Pharmacology, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, San Antonio, Texas 78229 3900, USA
    J Neurosci 22:6766-72. 2002
    ..SERT binding sites decreases are not a consequence of reduced SERT gene expression, as revealed by in situ hybridization measurements. SSRI-induced downregulation of the SERT may be a key component for the clinical response to SSRIs...
  4. ncbi Impact of ovarian hormones on the modulation of the serotonin transporter by fluvoxamine
    Saloua Benmansour
    Department of Pharmacology, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, San Antonio, TX 78229 3900, USA
    Neuropsychopharmacology 34:555-64. 2009
    ..The finding that acutely both estradiol and progesterone can inhibit the ability of an SSRI to slow the clearance of 5-HT, may have important implications for the use of SSRIs in women...
  5. ncbi Regulation of the norepinephrine transporter by chronic administration of antidepressants
    Saloua Benmansour
    Department of Pharmacology, University of Texas Health Science Center, 7703 Floyd Curl Drive, San Antonio, TX 78229 3900, USA
    Biol Psychiatry 55:313-6. 2004
    ..This study investigated if chronic treatment of rats with selective NRIs or SSRIs also affected the norepinephrine transporter (NET)...
  6. ncbi Delayed pharmacological effects of antidepressants
    A Frazer
    Department of Pharmacology, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, San Antonio, TX 78229, USA
    Mol Psychiatry 7:S23-8. 2002
    ..Substantial loss of serotonin transporter binding sites takes 15 days to occur and is accompanied by a marked reduction of serotonin transporter function in vivo...
  7. ncbi Influence of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) on serotonin neurotransmission in the hippocampus of adult rodents
    Saloua Benmansour
    Department of Pharmacology, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, Texas 78229, USA
    Eur J Pharmacol 587:90-8. 2008
    ..Such acute effects of BDNF would be expected to counter early effects of SSRIs, which might, in part, account for some delay in therapeutic effect...
  8. ncbi Consequences of changes in BDNF levels on serotonin neurotransmission, 5-HT transporter expression and function: studies in adult mice hippocampus
    Thierry Deltheil
    Univ Paris Sud, EA 3544, Fac Pharmacie, Chatenay Malabry Cedex F 92296, France
    Pharmacol Biochem Behav 90:174-83. 2008
    ..Thus, the neurochemical sight of this question will be addressed here by examining the consequences of either a constitutive decrease or increase in brain BDNF protein levels on hippocampal extracellular levels of 5-HT in conscious mice...
