Influence of inhibitors of serotonin uptake on intestinal epithelium and colorectal carcinomas [PDF]
Previous studies have shown that in certain tissues, including colonic carcinomas, cell proliferation may be promoted by serotonin, and indirect evidence suggests that the effects of this amine on colonic tumours involves a cellular-uptake mechanism.

Synthesis of a selective serotonin uptake inhibitor: [11C]citalopram
Citalopram, a selective serotonin uptake inhibitor, was labeled with 11C for non-invasive in vivo studies of serotonin uptake sites in the human brain using positron emission tomography. The synthesis was completed in approximately 17 min using [11C]methyl iodide as the precursor.

Selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors: use in depression [PDF]
This short review outlines the clinical profile of the selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs). There has been much recent publicity and promotion of this group of drugs and this review attempts to give a balanced account of their current place in the treatment of depression. Although a large number of preclinical and clinical trials have been

Drug-Resistant Hyponatremia after Escitalopram Intake: A Series of Two Case Reports [PDF]
The consumption of new selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) is raising dramatically especially in European countries. It contributes to occurrence of clinically important drug side effects. One of which can be hyponatremia. We present two case

Targeting SERT promotes tryptophan metabolism: mechanisms and implications in colon cancer treatment
Background Serotonin signaling has been associated with tumorigenesis and tumor progression. Targeting the serotonin transporter to block serotonin cellular uptake confers antineoplastic effects in various tumors, including colon cancer.

New Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors and Their Anesthetic and Analgesic Considerations
Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) inhibit the presynaptic neuronal uptake of serotonin and norepinephrine and prolong the effects of the monoamines in the synaptic cleft within the central nervous system, leading to increased ...
