objective: hypoglycemia with multiple etiologies is a common in diabetic patients. the current study describes the probability of interaction between maprotiline, selective serotonine reuptake inhibitors like citalopram for induction of hypoglycemia. case presentation: a 47 year-old diabetic woman used tablet citalopram 20mg daily because of generalized anxiety disorder from two years ago, but ...

The neurotransmitter serotonin is produced by neurons in the raphe nuclei of the brainstem, which send axonal projections broadly to the cerebral cortex, the amygdala, and other brain regions. The modulation of serotonin neurotransmission appears to be involved in both the pathophysiology and the treatment of depression. For example, serotonin-selective reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), by blocking ...

Serotonin [5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)] plays an important role in many organs as a peripheral hormone. Most of the body's serotonin is circulating in the bloodstream, transported by blood platelets and is released upon activation. The functions of serotonin are mediated by members of the 7 known mammalian serotonin receptor subtype classes (15 known subtypes), the serotonin transporter (SERT), ...

Serotonin is a biogenic amine that has multiple roles in the human body and mainly known as happiness hormone. A new laccase (Lac)-based biosensor been developed for qualitative quantitative determination of serotonin three dietary supplements from different manufacturers. The enzyme was immobilized on an organized mesoporous carbon-modified carbon screen-printed electrode (OMC-SPE) by drop-and...

Serotonin is a well-known agent that plays various roles in animals, and little known plants. In this study, the effect of exogenous serotonin was tested on Brassica napus L. (rapeseed) under salt stress. The results revealed application 200 µmol/L had best protection salinity. Exogenous effectively alleviated growth inhibition seedlings caused by salinity, significantly promoted accumulation f...

conclusions administration of two different doses of intravenous ondansetron, 6 mg and 12 mg, significantly attenuates spinal induced hypotension, bradycardia and shivering compared to the control saline group. however, the hemodynamic profiles and shivering in experimental groups were not statistically different. results demographic data were not statistically different among groups. hr was st...

curcumin exhibits both cancer- preventive activity and growth inhibitory effects on several neoplastic cells including human colon cancer. serotonin and its receptors have also been implicated in tumor development. this study investigated the effect of ritanserin, a selective serotonin 5ht2a receptor antagonist, alone and in combination with curcumin on colorectal cancer cell lines. results sho...
