What is Neurotransmitters And Drugs about?

Covering the relationship between drugs and neurotransmitters, this volume includes sections on acetylcholine, noradrenaline, dopamine, histamine, inhibitory and excitatory amino acids and peptides, examining such aspects as synthesis, storage, release, receptors and inactivation. An understanding of the manner in which therapeutically used drugs modify the nervous system requires knowledge of the functions, distribution and control of neurotransmitters. This well-established textbook provides a concise and systematic introduction to the main neurotransmitter substances in the body, their association with clinical states, and the interaction of therapeutically used drugs within these systems. Each chapter is devoted to a specific neurotransmitter substance, and examines their synthesis, storage, release, receptor interaction and inactivating mechanisms, together with important drugs known to interact selectively with these various mechanisms. The treatment of relevant disorders, such as Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia, as well as side effects are discussed. This third edition has been rewritten to reflect recent advances in the field and to incorporate up-to-date references.
