Beskrivning
Serotonin: The Mediator That Spans Evolution provides a comprehensive review of the widespread roles for serotonin in respiratory, cardiovascular and thermoregulatory control, and for growth and development in early life. This important resource highlights serotonin's role in normal (unstressed) conditions, and in response to a variety of physiological stressors. It focuses on new animal models, comparing and contrasting data from mice and rats. In addition, the book compares and contrasts the physiological effects of brain and blood serotonin systems and includes new data suggesting that the influence of serotonin is in part through the regulation of gene expression.
Finally, it discusses the role of serotonin system dysfunction in a variety of pathophysiological conditions, including sleep apnea, obesity and hypertension, and presents compelling evidence that this dysfunction is involved in Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
- Includes the latest information on new animal models of serotonin system dysfunction
- Explores the wide scope of serotonin's influence on multiple organ and physiological systems
- Highlights the autonomous functioning of the brain and body serotonin systems
- Provides compelling evidence of serotonin dysfunction in SIDS, a leading cause of death in infancy
