TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - Serotonin - a new potential risk factor for falls, low BMD and fracture JO - Journal of bone and mineral research A1 - Vestergaard, Peter SP - 1558 EP - 1559 VL - 33 IS - 9 N2 - 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.
