    Estrogen promotes, progesterone inhibits drug (cocaine) abuse

    An interesting study, which not only exposes yet another negative side of estrogen but also demonstrates the opposing actions estrogen and progesterone have on the brain. The former is excitatory (by activating the glutamate system and inhibiting the GABA system) while the latter does the exact...

    Progesterone Suppresses GAD enzyme MRNA (If progesterone excites you, it may be glutamate)

    Progesterone increases glutamate in the brain via blocking GAD enzyme Progesterone increases glutamate in the brain via blocking GAD enzyme activity, this can lead to overexcitation and depression via glutamate excess. From the start the use of Progesterone felt bad to me and I knew it was...

    Fasoracetam upregulates GABA-B receptors and reduces learned helplessness

    Fasoracetam might be especially interesting for people that don't react well to the other racetams and stimulants in generel. I've found that phenylpiracetam can make me a bit irritable, but stacking it with something GABAergic alleviated that. Or people dealing with anxiety, depression...

    Plant Cells Communicate A Stressful/traumatic Even Similar To Animals

    Peat has written many times in his articles about the long-distance communication among cells in a living organism. When a single cell is injured is sends a signal, which if strong enough, can traverse the entire organism. This mechanism is known to occur in animals yet medical science still...

    Aspirin Protects The Brain Against Stress

    Aspirin inhibits stress-induced increase in plasma glutamate, brain oxidative damage and ATP fall in rats. - PubMed - NCBI The precise mechanisms by which stress induces brain damage are still being elucidated. The high-output, inducible isoform of nitric oxide (NO) synthase (iNOS) is...

    Fibroblasts Shuttle Glutamate, Arginine Into Cancer Cells And Promote Glycolysis

    Tumor microenvironment derived exosomes pleiotropically modulate cancer cell metabolism Cancer-associated fibroblasts release exosomes that both deliver nutrients to cancer cells and inhibit oxidative phosphorylation. Exosomes from fibroblasts can supply an amino acid called glutamine and other...

    Biotin Reduces Ammonia Levels In Brain And Blood

    Rat study, but should be applicable to humans as well. Human equivalent dosage is about 20mg of biotin per day, which may seem very high to some. However, it has been shown to be safe in humans for up to a year administration and incidentally this is the dose used in humans to lower cholesterol...
