Review of Metabolism, Transport and Role of Serotonin in the Body and the Relation between Serotonin and Diseases
Serotonin (5-hydroxytriptamine), one of the most important neurotransmitters, is synthesized from amino acid L-tryptophan in some neurons located in the central nervous system and intestine enterochromaffin cells . The role of this neurotransmitter is important and involves control of sexual behaviors, morality, sleep, pain, appetite, aggression, cardiovascular function and regulation of gut fu...

Abstract Backgrounds and Aim: Aerobic exercise has proven benefits in reducing the incidence of cancers. In this study we evaluated the effect of aerobic training on serotonin and serotonin receptors levels in hippocampus of female BALB/c mice depressed suffered from breast cancer. Materials and Methods: Thirty mice were randomly divided into healthy control, cancer control, exercise cancer gro...

متن کاملAssociation of STin2 VNTR Polymorphism in the SLC6A4 Gene with Increased Risk of MS Disease
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease of the central nervous system (CNS) that is characterized by inflammation, demyelination and axonal injury. Although the etiology of MS disease is still unknown, many studies suggest that immune system dysfunction plays an important role in the pathogenesis of this disease. The serotonin serves as a mediator between CNS and the immune sys...
متن کاملEFFECTS OF CATECHOLAMINES ON DOPAMINE AND SEROTONIN SYNTHESIS IN RAT BRAIN STRIATAL SYNAPTOSOMES: THE ROLE OF PRESYNAPTIC RECEPTORS AND THE SYNAPTOSOMAL REUPTAKE MECHANISM.
The regulation of dopamine and serotonin synthesis in rat brain striatal synaptosomes has been studied using HPLC methods. Noradrenaline was shown to markedly inhibit both the synthesis of dopamine and serotonin. The response of the synaptosomes to the concentrations of noradrenaline appeared to be biphasic, a very effective inhibition occurring at low concentrations (1-5 µm) and a relativ...
