What else can I help you with?
What body chemical is responsible for feelings like shame and anxiety and how can one block it in the short term?
Anxiety and Depression are linked to a serotonin imbalance. Serotonin is a chemical in the brain that effects our mood, sleep patterns and much more.
An example of an internal chemical transmitter is a?
neurotransmitter like serotonin, dopamine, or acetylcholine. These are molecules that transmit signals across synapses in the nervous system to regulate various processes such as mood, movement, and memory.
Example of a chemical energy?
For example a chemical is like a battery,food,or fuel
Do you need serotonin?
No, I do not need serotonin as I am a computer program and do not have biological functions like humans do. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that plays a role in regulating mood, appetite, and other functions in the human body.
How do you relate human behavior to chemical properties?
Human behavior can be influenced by the chemical properties of substances that interact with the body, such as neurotransmitters in the brain. For example, changes in the levels of neurotransmitters like serotonin or dopamine can affect mood and behavior. Understanding the chemical properties of substances can provide insight into how they might alter human behavior.
What amino acid looks like serotonin?
None. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins....serotonin is a neurotransmitter
How do antidepressants work like Prozac?
If you are depressed, it makes you feel normal again, but it takes 3-5 weeks to kick in.
Can a Chemical imbalance cause thoughts of suicide?
Yes, that is generally the beginning of depression. Whatever it is that is causing a person any sort of continuous grief over something your body exerts a chemical called serotonin and eventually your body begins to decrease the level of production because it cannot keep up enough. Eating things like papaya, dates, and bananas can help up your serotonin levels. Try to avoid whole wheat and rye breads as it inhibits the production of serotonin.
Is serotonin ionic or covalent?
Oh, dude, serotonin is a neurotransmitter, not some high school chemistry experiment. It's all about making you feel good and regulating your mood, not about bonding with other molecules. So, like, it's neither ionic nor covalent, it's just doing its own thing in your brain, man.
Is burning leaves a chemical reaction?
Only if you put a chemical on it to burn it. like gasoline for example
Define autocrine signaling and give an example?
autocrine signalling : the cell automatically signals it self through a chemical that it synthesizes and then respond to . example : insulin like growth factor secreted within muscle cell .
What's does serotonin do?
Serotonin is a 'transmitter' chemical - it helps to pass nerve impulses from one nerve cell (neurone) to the next over the synapse (gap between two neurones). It works like this; 1. When a nerve impulse travels the length of a neurone and reaches the end it must 'jump' the gap between one neurone and the next. 2. To do this, the impulse triggers the release of a transmitter chemical (such as serotonin) from the end of the neurone into the synapse. 3. These transmitter chemical molecules diffuse across the gap between the two neurones, and bind to special receptor molecules on the membrane (outer skin) of the next neurone. 4. When these transmitter chemicals bind to the right receptor molecules they trigger a new impulse carrying the same 'information' as the impulse in the previous neurone. Serotonin is simply one of the many 'transmitter' chemicals. Serotonin can also do the following: 1. It gives us self-confidence, a feeling of safety and security. 2. It causes us to feel sleepy. 3. It increases our appetites. The part of the brain where it does each of these 3 things is a different part of the brain from the part where the other 2 things occur. Thus, for example, increasing serotonin in the part of the brain where self-confidence is will increase your self-confidence, but not your sleepiness. Unfortunately, we have no medications to increase only the serotonin in one part of the brain. This explains why medications to increase serotonin in the brain can also cause increased appetite and sleepiness. Medications which increase serotonin in the brain (SSRI's such as citalopram, escitalopram, fluoxetine, paroxetine, and sertraline and SNRI's such as venlafaxine and duloxetine) give us more self-confidence, and a feeling of safety and security. By the way, serotonin also exists in our gastrointestinal tracts. In this location, it stimulates digestion. This is why such medications can cause gastrointestinal upset. But they can also help constipation.
