    I hypothesized that melatonin inhibits somatostatin at transcription level through inhibition of important somatostatin transcription factors. I collected data from primary and secondary literature to acquire information on the target tissues‚ receptors and cellular mechanisms of melatonin. I collected information about somatostatin with emphasis on the mechanisms of its expression. Results showed that melatonin inhibits transcription of somatostatin through inhibition of Cyclic-adenosine monophosphate

    neurotransmitter. Why would the closure of a potassium channel in the presynaptic axon terminal change the amount of Ca2︎ entering and change the amount of neurotransmitter released? Serotonin(5-HT) receptor on the sensory axon terminals is a G-protein-coupled metabotropic receptor. Stimulation of this receptor leads to the production of intracellular second messengers‚ cAMP‚ which activates protein kinase A. This enzyme phosphorylates various proteins‚ among which a potassium channel. Since potassium

    This is an anesthetic that work to is antagonize‚ or inhibit the action of‚ the N-Methyl-D-aspartate receptor. The anesthesia that is induced is referred to as dissociative anesthesia. There is evidence that NMDA receptor antagonists can cause a certain type of brain damage‚ referred to as Olney’s Lesions in rodents‚ but this type of damage has not yet been found in adult humans. Although NMDA antagonists were

    signal down the optic track to regions of the brain which process the information from the receptors and turn into a visual perception. Just like in any optical illusion‚ the image we are receiving of the world through light receptors in our eyes is not exactly the same as the image reaching our brains. Our retina is partially composed of many small nerves (which function as receptors of light); these receptors are arranged in rows on the inside of
