Amines in Neurones

Biogenic amines in sea products

Sea food products are being processed through various techniques, i.e. chilling and freezing, heating, irradiating, and curing; regard to the condition of processing, formation of biogenic amines are probable, as raw materials are usually rich in respective precursors. Fermented fish products are among the most vulnerable items to this challenge, these products due to their nutritious value are...

Structural abnormalities in neurones.

Grasping neurones

We agree with Robertson that our new view on grasping is a description of motor behaviour rather than offering any insight into the nature of the neural processing underlying this behaviour. However, neurophysiologists might be inspired by our new view to ask other questions, do other experiments, and analyse these differently. In this way, they could generate new insights about the neural cont...

Transmitter amines in depression

This editorial comments on recent evidence concerning the roles in depression of the transmitter amines 5-hydroxytryptamine (5HT), dopamine (DA) and noradrenaline (NA). It focuses on evidence from brain chemistry and from effects of drugs used in treatment. The literature on urinary excretion of amine metabolites and on platelet erythrocyte and neuroendocrine abnormalities will not be discussed...

Amines in experimental hypertensions.

A sympathomimetic timine, Paredrine, was shown to be a good antihypertensive agent in experimental renal, experimental neurogenic and spontaneous hypertensions in the dog. Other closely related amines failed to possess antihypertensive activity. Paredrine did not prevent the development of experimental renal hypertension. This amine was also without chronic effect on the blood pressure of normo...
