Preeclampsia, the more severe manifestation of gestational hypertensive disorders, is a major cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Genetic polymorphisms in long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are considered as potential genetic preeclampsia. This study aimed to explore the association between SENCR rs555172 SNP and PE risk in healthy pregnant women compared to women with preeclampsia.

The present study aimed to investigate the possible role of the basolateral amygdala (BLA) 5-HT3 and 5-HT4 serotonergic systems upon ACPA (CB1 cannabinoid receptor agonist)-induced anxiolytic-like behaviors and emotional memory impairment using the elevated plus-maze (EPM) test-retest paradigm in male mice.
Method: bilateral guide-cannulae were implanted to allow intra-BLA microinjection of serotonergic agents.
