Abstract

Adenylate-cyclase activity in platelets of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder D Marazziti, S Baroni, L Palego, I Masala, G Consoli, M Catena Dell’Osso, G Giannaccini, A LucacchiniDipartimento di Psichiatria, Neurobiologia, Farmacologia e Biotecnologie, Università di Pisa, Pisa, ItalyAbstract: Although the main biological hypothesis on the pathophysiology of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is centered on the serotonin system, indications are available that other neurotransmitters, and even second messengers, particularly the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling, may be involved, though effective data are few. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare the basal and isoprenaline (ISO)-stimulated velocity of adenylate-cyclase (AC) in human platelet membranes of patients with OCD and healthy control subjects. The results showed that the basal and ISO-stimulated AC activity, as well as the dose-response curves of ISO by using agonist concentrations ranging between 0.1 nM and 10 µM, were not different in the two groups. However, OCD patients showed lower EC50 and higher Emax values than healthy subjects. These findings suggest the presence of supersensitive β-adrenergic receptors in platelets of OCD patients.Keywords: obsessive-compulsive disorder, norepinephrine, second messengers, adenylate-cyclase, platelets, isoprenaline, β-adrenergic receptors

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Plasma catecholamines and metabolites are not changed in OCD, concurring with no change in cerebrospinal fluid concentrations of biogenic amines and metabolites, while supersensitive beta-adrenergic receptors are measured in platelets of OCD patients.

    “plasma catecholamines and metabolites are not changed in OCD (Benkelfat et al. 1991) concurring with no change in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of biogenic amines and metabolites (Leckman et al. 1995), supersensitive beta-adrenergic receptors are measured by detecting adenylate cyclase activity in platelets of OCD patients (Marazziti et al. 2009).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
