Serotonin, Norepinephrine, and Related Compounds in Bananas | Science
Quoting the table -
Value is the result obtained on three bananas
Considering the average weight of pulp - 130 g
Avg weight of peel - 60 g
Pulp
Serotonin - 28 mcg/g or 3.7 mg/banana
Norepinephrine - 1.9 mcg/g or 0.25 mg/banana
Dopamine - 7.9 mcg/g or 1 mg/banana
Peel
Serotonin - 65 mcg/g or 3.9 mg/banana
Norepinephrine - 122 mcg/g or 7.3 mg/banana
Dopamine - 700 mcg/g or 42 mg/banana
Just to ask, does the dopamine content balances out the serotonin ( i know it's not that simple or reductionist) but the peel contains a huge amount of dopamine(no one eats the peel).
As per my knowledge ,orally consumed serotonin/dopamine don't cross the blood-brain barrier , hence the SSRI/L-DOPA. So, the effects might be limited to GI tract , hence i asked does the dopamine balances out the serotonin.
