Serotonin and serotonin receptors

Serotonin je biogeni monoamin i klasični neurotransmiter, jedan je od glavnih neurotransmitera središnjeg živčanog sustava. U ovom radu razmatran je mehanizam njegova djelovanja kao neurotransmiter te kao hormon i mitogen. Počevši od osnovnih pojova živčanog sustava, te njegovih funkcionalnih i strukturnih svojstava. Također je anlizirana struktura i funkcija receptora serotonina, koji najčešće imaju veću ulogu u tome što će se dogoditi nego sam serotonin. Spomenuta su djelovanja selektivnih agonista i antagonista te njihov utjecaj, kako na receptore središnjeg živčanog sustava tako i na receptore drugih organskih sustava poput krvožilnog, probavnog, reproduktivnog i drugih. Raznolikost njegova djelovanja posljedica je toga što je skupina serotoninskih receptora najveća skupina receptora nekog neurotransmitera, to objašnjava njegovu središnju ulogu u regulaciji moetabolizma. Budućnost ovog područja istraživanja biti će presudna u tome kako ćemo se nositi s aktivnom krizom mentalnog zdravlja pružajući dvije opcije: aktivno ili pasivno suočavanje.Serotonin is a biogenic monoamine and classic neurotransmitter. It is one of the main neurotransmitters of the central nervous system. In this paper, the mechanism of its action as a neurotransmitter as well as as a hormone and mitogen is discussed, starting with the basic concepts of the nervous system, and its functional and structural properties. The structure and function of serotonin receptors, which usually have a greater role in what will happen than serotonin itself, were also analyzed,. The effects of selective agonists and antagonists and their influence on the receptors of the central nervous system as well as on the receptors of other organ systems such as circulatory, digestive, reproductive and others are mentioned. The diversity of its action is due to the fact that the group of serotonin receptors is the largest group of receptors for a neurotransmitter, which explains its central role in the regulation of metabolism. The future of this area of research will be crucial in how we deal with an active mental health crisis by providing two options: active or passive coping
