| selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor | <pharmacology> This is a class of drug that are used as antidepressants. Functionally, they increase the levels of serotonin in the body. These drugs can be dangerous if they are mixed with other drugs such as other antidepressants, illicit drugs (LSD, cocaine, methamphetamine), some antihistamines (Seldane, Histmanal), some antibiotics, and calcium channel blockers. Side effects include lethargy, confusion, flushing, sweating and muscle spasms. Overdose can cause damage to red blood cells, breathing problems and kidney damage. Examples include: Prozac, Zoloft and Paxil. Acronym: SSRI (12 Jan 1998) |

| receptors, serotonin | Cell-surface proteins that bind serotonin and trigger intracellular changes which influence the behaviour of cells. Several types of serotonin receptors have been recognised which differ in their pharmacology, molecular biology, and mode of action. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| serotonin | <biochemistry, hormone> A neurotransmitter and hormone (176 kD), found in vertebrates, invertebrates and plants. It is synthesised from the amino acid tryptophan by enterochromaffin cells in the gut and bronchi. It is metabolised to 5-HIAA in the liver and then excreted in the urine. Serotonin is measured on a venipuncture specimen in cases of suspected carcinoid syndrome (where it will be elevated). The normal range is 101 to 283 ng/ml. Acronym: 5-HT (13 Nov 1997) |
| serotonin agents | Drugs used for their effects on serotonergic systems. Among these are drugs that affect serotonin receptors, the life cycle of serotonin, and the survival of serotonergic neurons. (12 Dec 1998) |
| serotonin agonists | Agents that have an affinity for serotonin receptors and are able to mimic the effects of serotonin by stimulating the physiologic activity at the cell receptors. These compounds are used as antidepressants, anxiolytics, and in the treatment of migraine. (12 Dec 1998) |
| serotonin antagonists | Drugs that bind to but do not activate serotonin receptors, thereby blocking the actions of serotonin or serotonin agonists. (12 Dec 1998) |
| serotonin-binding protein kinase | <enzyme> An aspect of protein kinases EC 2.7.1.37 Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: sbp kinase (26 Jun 1999) |
| serotonin uptake inhibitors | Compounds that specifically inhibit the reuptake of serotonin in the brain. This increases the serotonin concentration in the synaptic cleft which then activates serotonin receptors to a greater extent. These agents have been used in treatment of depression, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive behaviour, and alcoholism, as analgesics, and to treat obesity and bulimia. Many of the adrenergic uptake inhibitors also inhibit serotonin uptake; they are not included here. (12 Dec 1998) |
| selective angiography | <procedure, radiology> Angiography in which visualization is improved by concentrating the contrast medium in the region to be studied by injection through a catheter positioned in a regional artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| selective grinding | <dentistry> The modification of the occlusal forms of teeth by grinding according to a plan or by grinding at selected places marked by articulating ribbon or paper. (05 Mar 2000) |
| selective hypoaldosteronism | <endocrinology> Isolated hypoaldosteronism, aldosterone deficiency without a concomitant deficiency of glucocorticoid hormones. (05 Mar 2000) |
| selective immunoglobulin A deficiency | <immunology> An inherited disorder in which there is a markedly reduced or absent IgA, resulting in immature IgA-bearing B-cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| selective inhibition | <chemistry> Inhibitor that occupies the active site of an enzyme or the binding site of a receptor and prevents the normal substrate or ligand from binding. at sufficiently high concentration of the normal ligand inhibition is lost: the Km is altered by the competitive inhibitor, but the Vmax remains the same. (05 Jan 1998) |
| selective injection | Injection of contrast medium following selective catheterization of a branch artery or vein for angiography. (05 Mar 2000) |
| selective medium | <cell culture> A medium which allows the growth of certain types of microorganisms in preference to others. For example: an antibiotic-containing medium allows the growth of only those microorganisms which are resistant to this antibiotic. (09 Oct 1997) |
| selective memory | <psychology> Reception or retrieval of only some of the events in an experience. (05 Mar 2000) |
| selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor |
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are a class of antidepressants. They act within the brain to increase the amount of the neurotransmitter, serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT), in the synaptic gap by inhibiting its reuptake. One notable characteristic of SSRIs is that, unlike other classes of antidepressants, SSRIs were rationally designed drugs. Instead of being discovered by accident, SSRIs were specifically designed while considering the biological causes of depression. ...

| selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor |
SSRI. A type of drug that is used to treat depression. SSRIs slow the process by which serotonin (a substance that nerves use to send messages to one another) is reused by nerve cells that make it. This increases the amount of serotonin available for stimulating other nerves.

(SSRIs), Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors: Medications which slow down the ability of nerve cells to absorb serotonin, a neurotransmitter (chemical that serves as a messenger between nerves). Example: Prozac.
