Histamines and Antihistamines Neurotransmitters are chemical compounds that are central nervous system stimulants that mainly transmit nerve impulses with another cell or muscle. They are released in the synapse which chemically help signal one neuron to the next. One of the nerve cells that influence neurotransmitter release and stimulate the central nervous system pathway are histamines. It is specifically located in the nerve cells of the hypothalamus. All neurotransmitters structurally

Eczema‚ Allergies‚ and Asthma‚ Pediatric Eczema‚ allergies‚ and asthma are common in children‚ and tend to be passed along from parent to child (inherited).

Most psychoactive drugs affect a single type of receptor or neurotransmitter‚ i.e.‚ anandamide receptor for marijuana; endorphin receptor for heroin; or norepinephrine‚ epinephrine‚ and dopamine neurotransmitters for cocaine. Alcohol on the other hand interacts with receptors‚ neurotransmitters‚ cell membranes‚ intracellular signaling enzymes‚ and even genes (Fay‚ 1998).

are five times more likely to have bipolar disorder in common. Studies have shown that certain brain chemicals called neurotransmitters play an important role in regulating moods and emotions. Neurotransmitters involved in depression include nor epinephrine‚ dopamine‚ and serotonin. Studies have also suggested a relationship between neurotransmitter levels and depression. An imbalance of hormones may also play a role in depression. Many depressed people have higher than normal levels of hydrocortisone

A carbohydrate is an organic compound that consists only of carbon‚ hydrogen‚ and oxygen‚ usually with a hydrogen:oxygen atom ratio of 2:1 (as in water); in other words‚ with the empirical formula Cm(H2O)n. The carbohydrates (saccharides) are divided into four chemical groupings: monosaccharides‚ disaccharides‚ oligosaccharides‚ and polysaccharides. In general‚ the monosaccharides and disaccharides‚ which are smaller (lower molecular weight) carbohydrates‚ are commonly referred to as sugars.
