I'm not positive but I don't think so. There is a Kit (quite expensive) that can be used to tell blood levels of serotonin: The Serotonin-ELISA kit provides materials for the quantitative measurement of chemically derivatized serotonin in serum, plasma, urine, tissue homogenates and tissue culture supernates. The sample preparation, i.e. derivatization of serotonin to N-acylserotonin, is part of the sample dilution and is achieved by incubation of the respective sample with the "Acylation Reagent". But knowing Serotonin levels in the brain are not so easy, since Serotonin is restricted by the Blood-Brain barrier. Spinal Tap for this I believe. TommyTrouble

What should be taken if there is a lack of serotonin?

Many doctors will purscribe SSRIs and SNRIs to treat serotonin deficiency but it is not a cure, just a bandaid and a poor one at that. People with criticaly low serotonin levels are unable to benefit from the effects of SSRIs and SNRIs simply due to the brain's own inability to trigger the release of serotonin in any meaningful ammounts without outside stimulis (in my case due to heavy drug abuse in my youth).

How do you calculate velocity of air in a mine?

To calculate the velocity of air in a mine, you can use a device called an anemometer. An anemometer measures the flow and speed of air, providing you with the velocity information. Simply place the anemometer in the air flow in the mine and it will give you a reading of the velocity.


What supplement is good for sleep?

Sleep help with MX 5-HTP works because unlike other serotonin supplements that suggest that they can 'boost' your mood or help improve your quality of sleep, this is a naturally occurring substance in the body. 5-HTP is the precursor to serotonin and it already naturally exists in your brain. Having more of it will simply help to produce more serotonin and provide a more balanced level of activity within the brain.
