an example would be "Depression can be caused by a low level of serotonin in the brain".
Overabundance of serotonin can cause serotonin syndrome.
The release of stored serotonin and the eventual damage of serotonin-producing neurons is most closely associated with the long-term use of synthetic drugs, particularly certain recreational drugs like MDMA (ecstasy) and methamphetamine. These substances can lead to excessive serotonin release, causing neurotoxic effects that damage serotonergic neurons over time. This can result in long-lasting changes in mood, behavior, and overall mental health. Additionally, chronic use of these drugs may contribute to serotonin depletion and related disorders.
Hydroxyzine decreases serotonin levels as it a serotonin antagonist.
No, the serotonin is collected and stored by platelets but not released by them. Serotonin is secreted by Enterochromaffin cells.
None. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins....serotonin is a neurotransmitter
Serotonin is soluble in water.
If you take Ecstasy too often or too much, your body may eventually begin to lose Serotonin, a hormone that your body releases in small amounts when you experience laughter or happiness. Ecstasy is designed to use ALL of your body's Serotonin over a period of 3 to 6 hours. When the body is drained of all of its Serotonin, it must slowly regenerate over time (a week or two). Many people believe that if you continue to use Ecstasy without allowing your Serotonin to replenish itself, you are at risk of Serotonin Deficiency Syndrome. However, if you use Ecstasy only occasionally, you will not suffer any bodily harm.
Excessive levels of serotonin can lead to a condition known as serotonin syndrome, which can be life-threatening. Symptoms may include agitation, confusion, rapid heart rate, dilated pupils, muscle rigidity, and increased body temperature. This condition often arises from the use of certain medications, particularly when multiple serotonin-boosting drugs are combined. Prompt medical attention is crucial to manage and treat serotonin syndrome effectively.
serotonin is the happy hormone .. sex.!!
Prozac (fluoxetine) is an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor). It targets reuptake channels for the neurotransmitter serotonin, preventing serotonin from reentering the presynaptic neurons to be removed from the synaptic cleft, thus forcing an accumulation of serotonin and repeated triggering of the serotonin "signal" in the postsynaptic neurons.
