Serotonin and Hallucinogens [PDF]
Neuropsychopharmacology, 1999 This brief review traces the serotonin (5-HT) hypothesis of the action of hallucinogenic drugs from the early 1950s to the present day. There is now converging evidence from biochemical, electrophysiological, and behavioral studies that the two major classes of psychedelic hallucinogens, the indoleamines (e.g., LSD) and the phenethylamines (e.g ...

Brain serotonin synthesis capacity in obsessive-compulsive disorder: effects of cognitive behavioral therapy and sertraline. [PDF]
, 2018 Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are both effective treatments for some patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), yet little is known about the neurochemical changes related to these ...

Periodicum biologorum, 2011 Serotonin is a monoamine that could be found in plans, animals and human body. The homeostasis of serotonin is maintained by the series of interdependent processes that include synthesis, storage, transport and removal/degradation. In the human body serotonin is synthesized in two independent compartments that are separated by brain-blood barrier.

Biological clocks in the duodenum and the diurnal regulation of duodenal and plasma serotonin. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Serotonin in blood plasma is primarily synthesized in the duodenum, as brain derived serotonin does not cross the blood-brain barrier. Because serotonin in the brain and retina is synthesized under the control of a circadian clock, we sought to determine

Serotonin system in the human placenta – the knowns and unknowns
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 The biogenic monoamine serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is a chemical messenger widely distributed in the brain and various other organs. Its homeostasis is maintained by the coordinated activity of a variety of proteins, including enzymes of ...

The serotonin transporter promotes a pathological estrogen metabolic pathway in pulmonary hypertension via cytochrome P450 1B1 pulmonary circulation [PDF]
, 2016 Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a devastating vasculopathy that predominates in women and has been associated with dysregulated estrogen and serotonin signaling. Overexpression of the serotonin transporter (SERT+) in mice results in an estrogen-

Serotonin and Noradrenaline Reuptake Inhibitors Improve Micturition Control in Mice [PDF]
, 2015 Poor micturition control may cause profound distress, because proper voiding is mandatory for an active social life. Micturition results from the subtle interplay of central and peripheral components.
