Question
Chapter 7, Problem 12bCP
Summary Introduction
To review:
The following:
1. The process of inactivation of monoamines at the synapse.
2. Clinical manipulation of this process
Introduction:
Monoamines are a class of regulatory molecules that are derived from various amino acids. Some monoamines like dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine are obtained or derived from tyrosine, which is also an amino acid. Similar to ACh (acetylcholine), monoamine neurotransmitters are also released by the process of exocytosis which get diffused across the synaptic cleft to reach the postsynaptic cell membrane.

- Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are drugs that can alleviate symptoms of depression by blocking the reuptake of serotonin (5-HT) from the synaptic cleft, thereby increasing the amount of time that 5-HT remains active. Elevated levels of 5-HT within the synapse are associated with feelings of well-being; conversely, low levels of 5-HT are correlated with depressive symptoms. Recent studies have shown that SSRIs can also mediate their antidepressant effects by increasing brain levels of certain cytokines, including interferon gamma (IFNY). IFNY directly induces the expression of the protein p11 in neighboring neurons, which then interacts with 5-HTR4, a 5-HT transmembrane receptor. Figures 1 and 2 provide information about this interaction. 5-HTR4 protein (% of WT) expression CAMP levels (% change control) from 120T 100+ 80+ 60+ 40+ 20+ 0 MEM TOT Figure 1 5-HTR4 protein expression in plasma membrane-enriched fraction (MEM) of hippocampal lysate and in total hippocampal…arrow_forwardIdentify the effects of parasympathetic innervation on effectorsarrow_forwardWhat is inhibitory synapse ?
