 | | Insufficient activity of the neurotransmitters serotonin and norepinephrine is a central element of the model of depression most widely held by neurobiologists today.1 Nearly all of the drugs used to treat depression appear to enhance neurotransmission in one or both of these systems. | | | In recent years, many studies have investigated long-term adaptive changes produced by antidepressant drugs on norepinephrine and serotonin systems.6 In addition, although most current antidepressant drugs are known to act on norepinephrine and serotonin systems, other factors appear to be involved in the mechanism of action of antidepressants. | | | In the late 1970s and 1980s, numerous researchers studied the use of the serotonin precursors L-tryptophan and 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), and the norepinephrine precursors tyrosine and phenylalanine in depressed patients. |

| | During the late 1960s and early 1970s, it was thought that increased serotonin formation may promote migraine headaches (the opposite of what was later proved, i.e., increasing serotonin levels reduce migraine headache occurrence). | | | There is a massive amount of evidence that suggests that low serotonin levels are a common consequence of modern living. | | | The point here is that 5-HTP does not disrupt the normal process of serotonin release, reabsorbtion, and elimination from the body. |

| | Studies with humans and animals have shown that serotonin nerve circuits promote feelings of well being, calm, personal security, relaxation, confidence and concentration. | | | Yet the study related by Risch and Nemeroff eloquently shows that the success of SSRI drugs is crucially dependent upon the brain producing adequate serotonin (from either tryptophan or 5-HTP), and that brain serotonin production is the controlling or rate-limiting variable underlying the apparent success of SSRI's. | | | The increased brain serotonin this produces lowers arousal and anxiety, promoting a (temporary) sense of well-being and security. |

| | 5-HTP: Doc Harris Presents Green Banana Award(Steve Harris, M.D.) |
| | This study was designed to assess the effects of the serotonin precursor, 5-hydroxytryptophan (5HTP), upon aldosterone secretion in man, and to determine whether stimulatory effects of 5HTP are mediated through the central nervous system. | | | Interestingly, the valve disease is apparently due to serotonin stimulation of myofibrocytes, which proliferate and go crazy, and make the valves stiff. | | | There is some irony in the fact that tryptophan, which does not raise peripheral serotonin levels, and is a fairly safe way to raise brain serotonins, is illegal to sell without prescription. |
