Chemar Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 I needed to find an old thread here today related to the lab that does the neurotransmitter testing and in looking at the website again, realized how clear and easy to understand their info page on neurotranmitters etc is, so thought to post it here in case the info can be of help to anyone neurotransmitter info https://www.neurorelief.com/index.php?optio...mid=48#Dopamine neuro, endo and immuno testing info https://www.neurorelief.com/index.php?optio...9&Itemid=74 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrose Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Chemar.... In your first link, I foound this interesting: Tyramine Tyramine (4-hydroxy-phenethylamine) is a naturally occurring monoamine compound formed by the enzymatic decarboxylation of the aromatic amino acid tyrosine. The enzyme monoamine oxidase is responsible for the breakdown of tyramine. When this metabolic pathway is compromised by monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), tyramine levels can become elevated and cause the release of neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine, potentially leading to an increase in blood pressure. Dietary intake of tyramine has also been associated with cluster headaches and migraines, forcing many to restrict foods containing tyramine such as fish, chocolate, alcohol, and fermented foods including cheese, processed meat, and sauerkraut Could this be why some experience an increase when taking fish oil???? (elevated levels cause the release of neurotransmitters) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peglem Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 I was surprised that there was no section on acetylcholine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chemar Posted May 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Peglem, I think they just cover the parameters that they have testing for, rather than all. The info isnt designed to be a reference site but rather just information related to the tests and products they provide. https://www.neurorelief.com/index.php?optio...0&Itemid=46 myrose, I guess that could well be a clue in the reason some react to fish oil, but wouldnt explain tho why eg my son can eat a lot of fish and not react with more tics? perhaps the oil has a higher tyrosine/tyramine level?
