The Role of Serotonin in Eating Disorders
@article{Leibowitz2012TheRO, title={The Role of Serotonin in Eating Disorders}, author={S. Leibowitz}, journal={Drugs}, year={2012}, volume={39}, pages={33-48} }
SummaryRecent pharmacological studies have more precisely characterised the nature of the inhibitory effect of brain serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) on feeding behaviour. Thus, the brain sites and receptors involved have been identified, and a possible physiological role of endogenous serotonin in controlling natural patterns of eating and nutrient selection has been defined. The medial hypothalamus is believed to be a critical location in the mediation of serotonin’s action. Specifically, the… CONTINUE READING
