Methylation is the addition of a methyl group (consisting of one carbon atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms) to a substrate, and it impacts physiology in a number of fundamental ways, including the regulation of gene expression (i.e., epigenetics), RNA processing, modifying heavy meals, modulating the function of an array of different proteins, and much, much more.
In this article, we will explore an important neurotransmitter in the body and brain called acetylcholine (ACh). While also functioning as a classical neuromodulator, ACh is similar to norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine in that it cannot cross the blood-brain barrier.
In today’s article, we are going to cover the “fight or flight” (or “oh sh*t, there’s a bear!”) catecholamine and neurotransmitter known as norepinephrine (NE). As with gamma-aminobutyric acid (or GABA), serotonin, and dopamine, NE can’t cross the blood-brain barrier.
In today’s article, we are going to explore the well-known, indispensable, and now kind of infamous neurotransmitter, dopamine. As with GABA or gamma-aminobutyric acid and serotonin, dopamine can’t cross the blood-brain barrier.
Before starting Troscriptions in 2019, we did a huge amount of research into the history of nootropics, the many varieties out there, and we tried many of them along the way. Although our brains usually enjoyed the ride (with some notably terrible exceptions), it became clear that no one could agree on what a nootropic really was and what it wasn’t.
In today’s article, we are going to explore one of the most well-known and important neurotransmitters: serotonin. As with gamma-aminobutyric acid, or GABA, serotonin can’t cross the blood-brain barrier to do its work.
