Inhibition of rat locus coeruleus neurons by prostaglandin E2 EP3 receptors: pharmacological characterization ex vivo

Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is an inflammatory mediator synthesized by the brain constitutive cyclooxygenase enzyme. PGE2 binds to G protein-coupled EP1-4 receptors (EP1 to Gq, EP2,4 to Gs, and EP3 to Gi/o). EP2, EP3 and EP4 receptors are expressed in the locus coeruleus (LC), the main noradrenergic nuc...
