Tryptophan Metabolic Pathways and Brain Serotonergic Activity: A Comparative Review
2019
The essential amino acid L-tryptophan (Trp) is the precursor of the monoaminergic neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT). Numerous studies have shown that elevated dietary Trp has a suppressive effect on aggressive behavior and post-stress plasma cortisol concentrations in vertebrates, including teleosts. These effects are believed to be mediated by the brain serotonergic system, even though all mechanisms involved are not well understood. The rate of 5-HT biosynthesis is limited by Trp availability, but only in neurons of the hindbrain raphe area predominantly expressing the isoform TPH2 of the enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH). In the periphery as well as in brain areas …

2019
Streszczenie: Wsparcie społeczne ma miejsce wtedy, gdy człowiek może liczyć na pomoc wynikającą z zachowań prospołecznych osoby lub grupy. Jest zawsze aktualne i najprawdopodobniej każdy będzie go kiedyś potrzebował. Agresja jest celowym wyrządzaniem krzywdy innej osobie, bojącej się i chcącej uniknąć bólu i cierpienia. Może być sposobem na szybką realizację doraźnego celu, ale niszczy przez to stosunki z ludźmi.
