| Research Abstract |
This study was aimed for the examination that a serotonin signal through 5-HT1b receptor and SERT participated in for pancreatic beta-cell proliferationduring pregnancy . Actually, increased expression of the 5-HT1b receptor and stable expression of SERT were identified when examined expression of 5-HT1b receptor and SERT during pregnancy . Therefore administration the antagonist to a pregnant mouse, it was revealed that a ratio of cell proliferation decreased, and it was suggested that a signal through 5-HT1b and SERT participated in pancreatic beta-cell proliferation during pregnancy .
