If you're talking about SSRI's, they are "selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors". In the case of depression, your body absorbs the serotonin that you make to scavenge the molecules to make... serotonin. SSRI's stop your body from scavenging the serotonin to get the molecules. SSRI's inhibit the body from "reuptaking" the serotonin. SSRI's are the most natural treatment of depression, since they do not attempt to create an alternative to serotonin, there are minimum side effects. But there are occasionally some side effects, depending on the SSRI that is used.
What else can I help you with?
What type factors affect an enzyme from working?
Inhibitors.
What part of the brain does selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors target?
the Frontal Cortex
What are examples of AADC inhibitors?
Carbidopa and benserazide are examples of AADC inhibitors used in combination with levodopa to prevent its conversion to dopamine outside of the brain. They help increase levodopa's availability in the brain for the treatment of Parkinson's disease.
How do competitive and noncompetitive inhibitors differ in their mechanisms of action and impact on enzyme activity?
Competitive inhibitors compete with the substrate for the enzyme's active site, while noncompetitive inhibitors bind to a different site on the enzyme. Competitive inhibitors can be overcome by increasing substrate concentration, while noncompetitive inhibitors cannot. Both types of inhibitors reduce enzyme activity, but competitive inhibitors specifically affect the binding of the substrate, while noncompetitive inhibitors can alter the enzyme's shape or function.
Does Wellbutrin contain Mao Inhibitors?
Wellbutrin isn't a MAO inhibitor...it works in the brain in a totally different way than MAO inhibitors drugs. Google Wellbutrin and read all about it.
What 4 things affect the ways enzymes work?
specificity, temp, ph, inhibitors
What is the purpose of cholinesterase inhibitors?
Cholinesterase inhibitors are drugs that block the activity of an enzyme in the brain called cholinesterase. Cholinesterase breaks apart the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is vital for the transmission of nerve impulses.
What are two things that can affect the enzymes shape?
Salt concentration and the pH! also the temperature and activations and inhibitors affect an enzymes actions
How do beta blockers and ACE inhibitors affect tattooing?
Beta blockers and ACE inhibitors have an affect on people's experiences during tattooing. For instance, people on beta blockers and ACE inhibitors report not being able to sit for tattoos as long as they would like. Additionally, it decreases people's threshold for pain, making the tattoo experience less pleasurable.
Does minoxidil affect brain?
yes it does affect the brain in many different ways
Do ACE inhibitors affect blood vessels?
ACE inhibitors make blood vessels relax, which helps lower blood pressure and allows more oxygen-rich blood to reach the heart
Are xanthines cholinesterase inhibitors?
No, xanthines are not cholinesterase inhibitors. Xanthines are a group of compounds that include caffeine and theophylline, which act primarily as adenosine receptor antagonists. Cholinesterase inhibitors, on the other hand, are a different class of drugs used to increase the levels of acetylcholine in the brain for the treatment of conditions like Alzheimer's disease.
