Abstract

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter present in the central nervous system (CNS) and intestine. It binds to the 5-HT (hydroxytryptamine)-receptor, and regulates gastrointestinal (GI) movements, CNS signaling resulting in changes in mood and memory as well as cardiovascular effects, including vasoconstriction and blood flow. The 5-HT receptors are mainly G-protein coupled receptors that may mediate excitatory and inhibitory signaling. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
