“Holstein
dairy cows on serotonin,” chuckled Bryan W. Brickner, publisher of The Cannabis
Papers, “and, of course, that’s for the high – and profit – of healthiness.”
In Synaptic Serotonin (5HT): Gut Work to Work Better in 2015 ~ New on the Bryan William
Brickner Blog, serotonergic gut health is highlighted. The post focuses on new
research from the National Institutes of Health (PubMed) to tell three (brief)
serotonin gut tales regarding: serotonin transporters and colitis pathogenesis,
serotonergic and glutamatergic dual signaling, and, one for our mammalian clade
(a single branch of the tree of life), 5HT liver glucose homeostasis during
transition from pregnancy to lactation (making milk) in Holstein dairy cows.
“Serotonin plays a genetic role in the pathogenesis
of colitis,” explained Brickner, “and today’s science notes a significant association between colitis
and a gene variant for the serotonin reuptake transporter (5-HTT).”
“We also find today that serotonergic raphe
neurons co-release glutamate,” Brickner continued, “and that serotonin and
glutamate components constitute a dual signal with distinct effects.”
“With the Holsteins it’s about stress,”
closed Brickner; “stress on a lactating dairy cow hurts profits; life’s
modulations, such as the stress of pregnancy, birth, and lactation, are
serotonin system dependent – in all mammals, not just in Holstein dairy cows.”
Announcement:
In January, look for Ew Publishing’s first booklet of 2015, Bryan W. Brickner’s
Shivitti: A Review of Ka-Tzetnik 135633’s
Vision. The heal Auschwitz nightmares via serotonin booklet will be
available by (or before) 25 January 2015.
Brickner has a 1997 political
science doctorate from Purdue University and is the author of several books, to
include Article the first of the Bill of Rights (2006) and The Book of the Is (2013); he also writes political fiction, such
as the novella thereafter (2013). The Bryan William Brickner Blog is an
ongoing resource for the political science of constitutions and the biological
science of receptors.
