The Role of Peptides and Amino Acids as Neurotransmitters
Many of the chapters dealing with humans are somewhat technical and of interest only to those involved in applying these techniques to patient care. Yet, the chapter by A. Thebault et al. on the effects of clomiphene and HCG on ovulation as well as the chapter by L. Mettler et al. on human in vitro fertilization are extremely informative and demonstrate the marriage of basic and clinical scienc...
متن کاملGases as neurotransmitters.
NO and CO are small gaseous molecules that can be synthesized de novo in neuronal tissue and can diffuse readily through the plasma membrane. NOS inhibitors prevent the induction of LTP in the hippocampus, and studies with NOS knock-out mice and viral overexpression of mutated NOS indicate that the endothelial form of the enzyme is probably responsible for NO production in these neurons. Inhibi...
متن کاملThe emergence of neurotransmitters as immune modulators.
Initially, the idea that neurotransmitters could serve as immunomodulators emerged with the discovery that their release and diffusion from nervous tissue could lead to signaling through lymphocyte cell-surface receptors and the modulation of immune function. It is now evident that neurotransmitters can also be released from leukocytes and act as autocrine or paracrine modulators. Here, we revi...
متن کاملNeurotransmitters
The nervous system processes sensory information and controls behavior by performing an enormous number of computations. These computations occur both within cells and between cells, but it is intercellular information processing, involving complex neural networks, that provides the nervous system with its remarkable functional capacity. The principal cells involved in information processing ar...
متن کاملThe Effect of Music on the Production of Neurotransmitters, Hormones, Cytokines, and Peptides: A Review
Research on the effects of music exposure on the release of biochemical messengers is an expanding field. The importance of understanding the influence of music on messenger production is a means of explaining behavioral reactions through physiological mechanisms. Signaling molecules that prove integral for important regulatory functions include neurotransmitters, hormones, cytokines, and pepti...
