Excitatory Neural Signalling Through 5-HTR 6 and Serotonin
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0000312SignalingThe 5-HT6 receptor is primarily expressed in the brain and is involved in glutamatergic and cholinergic neuronal activity.
Metabolism and Physiological Effects of Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO)
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0123192MetabolicThis trimethylamine then enters a liver hepatocyte through portal circulation and gets metabolized by FMO3 to form TMAO. … First choline obtained from choline rich foods such as eggs or meat enter the gut and get metabolized to trimethylamine by gut microbes.
Metabolism and Physiological Effects of N-Acetyl-L-Alanine
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0126554MetabolicN-terminal acetylation of proteins is a widespread and highly conserved process in eukaryotes that is involved in protection and stability of proteins. … Individuals with aminoacylase I deficiency will experience convulsions, hearing loss and difficulty feeding. Many N-acetylamino acids, including N-acetylalanine, are classified as uremic toxins.
Drugs: AlanineIntracellular Signalling Through FSH Receptor and Follicle Stimulating Hormone
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0000333SignalingIn the ovary, the FSH receptor is necessary for follicular development and is expressed on the granulosa cells.
Intracellular Signalling Through LHCGR Receptor and Luteinizing Hormone/Choriogonadotropin
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0000338SignalingLHCGRs are found in the ovary, testis, and many extragonadal tissues.In the ovary, the LHCG receptor is necessary for follicular maturation and ovulation, as well as luteal function. … In the male the LHCGR has been identified on the Leydig cells that are critical for testosterone production, and support spermatogenesis.
Metabolism and Physiological Effects of N-Acetyl-3-Methylhistidine
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0126795MetabolicN-Acetyl-3-methylhistidine, an N-acetyl-L-amino acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as histidine and derivatives. … N-Acetyl-3-methylhistidine is an acetylated derivative of 3-methylhistidine and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa).
Metabolism and Physiological Effects of N-alpha-Acetyl-L-arginine
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0125530MetabolicArginnosuccinate is synthesized from citrulline and aspartic acid by the enzyme argininosuccinate synthase. That is catalyzed by argininosuccinate lyase to produce arginine and fumaric acid. … In the blood it works as a uremic toxin to cause kidney damage, cardiovascular disease and neurological deficits.

smpdb.ca/view/SMP0126347Drug actionsuch as intrathecal morphine and systemic analgesics. … This causes downstream nociceptive neuronal activity and pain perception. Substance P and CGRP both also induce inflammation, further exasperating chronic pain.
Icosapent Prostaglandin G/H synthase 1 and 2 anti-inflammatory Action Pathway
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0126557Drug actionThis molecule also inhibits the arachidonic acid conversion into the thromboxane-2 and prostaglandin-2 families because it inhibits the prostaglandin G/H synthase 1 and 2 (COX-1 and COX-2). … Then icosapent shows anti-atherogenic and anti-thrombotic effects in cells. EPA serves as a substrate for Prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 1 and 2.
Fish oil Prostaglandin G/H synthase 1 and 2 anti-inflammatory Action Pathway
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0126563Drug actionEPA and DHA do competition with arachidonic acids for both COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes. … These are responsible for the conversion of arachidonic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid) into prostaglandins and thromboxanes, which are important mediators of inflammation and pain.
