Harmane and norharmane (two beta-carbolines) are tobacco components or products. The effects of harmane and norharmane on serotonergic raphe neurons remain unknown. Harmane and norharmane are inhibitors of the monoamine oxidases A (MAO-A) and B (MAO-B), respectively. To study the
Using a push-pull cannula technique and an isotopic method for estimating [3H]serotonin continuously synthesized from [3H]tryptophan, the effects of changes in the release of serotonin in the dorsalis raphe nucleus on in vivo release of [3H]serotonin in the cat caudate

1. The accumulation of p-chlorophenylethylamine (pCPE) in rat brain after administration of pargyline plus p-chlorophenylalanine (pCPA) is demonstrated. 2. Measurements of pCPE in brain were performed at 0.25 h, 1 h and 4 h after administration of pCPA to pargyline-pretreated
Serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT) is a central enzyme in the metabolic reprogramming of cancer cells, providing activated one-carbon units in the serine-glycine one-carbon metabolism. Previous studies demonstrated that the cytoplasmic isoform of SHMT (SHMT1) plays a relevant role in lung cancer.
Enzymes of intermediary metabolism are often reported to have moonlighting functions as RNA-binding proteins and have regulatory roles beyond their primary activities. Human serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT) is essential for the one-carbon metabolism, which sustains growth and proliferation in normal and
