It appears to affect mood by impairing the synthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), a cofactor essential for the synthesis of serotonin and other monoamines involved in the pathogenesis of affective disorders.^ One study found that lower plasma...
متن کاملEpigenetic influences on brain development and plasticity.
A fine interplay exists between sensory experience and innate genetic programs leading to the sculpting of neuronal circuits during early brain development. Recent evidence suggests that the dynamic regulation of gene expression through epigenetic mechanisms is at the interface between environmental stimuli and long lasting molecular, cellular and complex behavioral phenotypes acquired during p...
متن کاملPuberty-related influences on brain development.
Puberty is a time of striking changes in cognition and behavior. To indirectly assess the effects of puberty-related influences on the underlying neuroanatomy of these behavioral changes we will review and synthesize neuroimaging data from typically developing children and adolescents and from those with anomalous hormone or sex chromosome profiles. The trajectories (size by age) of brain morph...
متن کاملNutritional influences on bone mass.
Bone is composed of an organic matrix of type I collagen associated with non-collagenous proteins and a large mineral component consisting of calcium hydroxyapatite. To date, measurement of bone mass only takes into account the mineral component of bone, while recognizing that the organic matrix is important in providing both structure and strength. The present paper will concentrate on the inf...
