Tetratricopeptide repeat domain 9A modulates anxiety-like behavior in female mice by Lim, Lee Wei, Shrestha, Smeeta, Or, Yu Zuan, Tan, Shawn Zheng Kai, Chung, Hwa Hwa, Sun, Yang, Lim, Chew Leng, Khairuddin, Sharafuddin, Lufkin, Thomas, Lin, Valerie Chun Ling

“…This difference was abolished after ovariectomy, and administration of 17-β-estradiol benzoate (EB) restored this escalated anxiety-like behavior in TTC9A−/− mice. Since serotonin is well-known to be the key neuromodulator involved in anxiety behaviors, the mRNA levels of tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) 1, TPH2 (both are involved in serotonin synthesis), and serotonin transporter (5-HTT) were measured in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) and dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN). …”
