October 2022 Increased Anxiety-like Behaviors in Adgra1-/- Male But Not Female Mice are Attributable We found that Adgra1-/- male but not female mice exhibited elevated anxiety levels in the open field, mice. Finally, we found that PI3K/AKT/GSK-3β and MEK/ERK in amygdalae of Adgra1-deficient male mice were aberrantly activated when compared to wt male mice.

cells contributes to neuron survival and accelerates axonal regeneration after optic nerve crush in mice retinal GPR3 expression and its possible involvement in axonal regeneration after retinal injury in mice Surprisingly, RGCs in GPR3 knockout mice were vulnerable to neural death during aging without affecting Evaluation of the effect of GPR3 on axonal regeneration using GPR3 knockout mice revealed that GPR3 in expression in RGCs helps maintain neuronal survival and accelerates axonal regeneration after ONC in mice

However, Gpr3-deficient mice display several adverse phenotypes, including elevated anxiety-like behavior In contrast to Gpr3-deficient mice, G protein-biased GPR3 mice do not display elevated anxiety levels suggest a protective glial response that may limit amyloid plaque development in G protein-biased GPR3 AD mice
