Article should be "p11"?

[edit]

I'm no expert on biochemisty, but I do get the sense that p11 is intended to be lowercase. Wikipedia forces titles to be first-letter-capitalized, however there is at least a template that helps state that fact. It would serve this article to get the name right early. Can anyone else give some input? --Charles Gaudette 00:53, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Moved odd paragraph from article

[edit]

I don't know why this was at the bottom of the article. An long footnote? I don't know. But, I am putting it here until it can be more properly placed in the article.

"As quoted in the article by Svenningsson etal, p11 alters the Serotonin (specifically 5-HT 1B) receptors in depression-like states (downregulated in untreated cases and upregulated in treatment with either drugs or ECT) in animal models, measured by tail suspension tests (for depression) and thigmotaxis (for anxiety); it was also seen in brain tissues (and Hela cells) in depressed patients. This indeed is a breakthrough as a target for newer drugs in depression and depression-like states; that said, this is probably just scratching the surface, but sure is a beginning."
