(Norepinephrine, a target of these drugs, contains a chemical group known as catechol, and is a monoamine. Thus, neurotransmitters of this type are known as catecholamines). For a period of time ...

How each CNS stimulant works varies. In this case, Adderall contains amphetamine, which raises the level of norepinephrine and dopamine and prevents these neurotransmitters from being reabsorbed.

Curcumin, a phenolic antioxidant extracted from the rhizomes of turmeric and other Curcuma species, possesses strong ...

Background and Purpose— In patients with severe bacterial meningitis, norepinephrine is often infused to increase mean arterial pressure (MAP). This increases cerebral blood flow (CBF), but it is ...

Some common POTS phenotypes are described here. Although many POTS patients have high plasma norepinephrine levels, it would seem paradoxical that an autonomic neuropathy is proposed as an underlying ...

Norepinephrine (NE) levels in the intestine increase under conditions of stress and trauma, and are thought to result in spill over of NE into the intestinal lumen. NE is known to stimulate the growth ...

A study of long-distance runners shows the brain’s remarkable ability to adapt—by burning its own fat. A marathon taxes more than just muscles—it pushes the brain to its metabolic limits ...

Summary: A research team has uncovered a molecular “switch” that precisely regulates NMDA receptors, key players in brain communication, by blocking excitatory synapse overactivity. The proteins MDGA2 ...

Just how that process actually works remains unknown. Norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitors (NDRIs) such as bupropion (Wellbutrin, Zyban, or Aplenzin) also affect serotonin to an extent ...

Once triggered by norepinephrine, astrocytes produced a second chemical that they released onto synapses, which caused the dampening of synapse activity. Even when neurons' ability to directly ...
