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...
متن کاملInotropic effects of angiotensin II on human cardiac muscle in vitro.
The direct effects of angiotensin II (Ang II) on human cardiac muscle were investigated using isolated trabecular muscles from failing and functionally normal hearts. Atrial and ventricular trabeculae were studied. Results demonstrated a positive inotropic effect of Ang II on human cardiac muscle. Comparison of the effects of Ang II among groups indicated that the responsiveness tended to be gr...
متن کاملInteraction between Intestinal Microbiota and Serotonin Metabolism
Gut microbiota regulates the production of signaling molecules, such as serotonin or 5-Hydroxytryptamine: 5-HT in the host. Serotonin is a biogenic amine that acts as a neurotransmitter in the gut and brain. There is a perfect interaction between human gastrointestinal microbiota and the serotonin system. The gut microbiota plays an important role in the serotonin signaling pathways through the...
متن کاملReactivity to endothelium-dependent and -independent vasoactive substances is maintained in coronary resistance vessels of the failing hamster heart.
OBJECTIVES Several studies suggest that regulation of coronary vasomotion is abnormal in heart failure, but controversies exist as to whether an altered endothelium-dependent dilation of the coronary vasculature contributes to these abnormalities. In the present study we evaluated the coronary reactivity to endothelium-dependent and -independent vasoactive substances in a model of chronic heart...
متن کاملEffect of Prenatal Stress and Serotonin Depletion on Postnatal Serotonin Metabolism in Wistar Rats
Prenatal stress in rats results in structural, physiological and behavioral alterations that persist in adulthood. Serotonin (5-HT) is an important neurotransmitter known to be involved in these prenatal stress-induced behavioral alterations. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of interrupted synthesis of 5-HT and immobilization stress during different gestational period on brai...
