... was to examine a possible increase in cytokines indicating inflammation, as measured by tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in ED patients, and to explore possible relationships between cytokines and self-reported personality traits. Methods: Female patients with severe ED (n = 26) were...

... genetic control. The dopaminergic system has been proposed to play a role in the modulation of personality traits. In the present study, variants of the tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and DOPA decarboxylase (DDC) genes (for TH: rs3842727, rs6356; for DDC: rs1451371, rs1470750, rs998850) were investigated...

...Alessandra Minelli; Catia Scassellati; Cristian Bonvicini; Jorge Perez; Massimo Gennarelli Personality traits are under genetic control, and have been associated with genes implicated in dopaminergic, serotoninergic and noradrenergic neurotransmission systems, often with conflicting results...

...Sandra E. Müller; Heinz-Gerd Weijers; Jobst Böning; Gerhard A. Wiesbeck Personality traits are important individual characteristics modifying responses to therapy in various diseases.

... before S2. Furthermore, the postimperative negative variation (PINV) appeared in 13 out of 35 subjects. There was a strong correlation between the latter electrophysiological phenomenon and the Nowlis test. Our findings suggest that CNV study is useful for the investigation of personality traits in human...

... ofpersonality traits. We tested the associations between functional MAOA-uVNTR genetic variants and personality traits in a cohort of 370 healthy young Chinese females. Subjects who were homozygous for the 4-repeat allele of the MAOA-uVNTR gene tended to have a higher total score on the Harm Avoidance (HA...

We recruited 211 unrelated, normal subjects. The Korean version of the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) was used...

... associations between 5-HTT-LPR and the reward dependence scales and subscales and between 5-HTT-LPR and the NS1 subscale are too weak for further interpretation. Our results do not confirm the hypothesis that there is a simple correlation between single gene polymorphisms and a personality trait measured...
