Dimethyltriptamina (DMT)

La DMT (N,N-dimetiltriptamina) es un alcaloide triptamínico de núcleo indólico presente en numerosas plantas y seres vivos Su uso oral entre humanos es posible gracias a la sinergia entre un IMAO (inhibidor de la monoaminooxidasa) y plantas con la triptamina como la Mimosa hostilis o la Psychotria viridis. El brebaje conocido con el nombre de ayahuasca oyajé incluye Psychotria viridis en su preparación.En la actualidad se estudian las funciones que puede desempeñar la DMT endógenamente en el organismo humano, puesto que se encuentran trazas de esta molécula en la orina y en el cerebro de las personas. Algunos especulan que la DMT, producida en pequeñas cantidades por humanos y mamíferos, participa en los efectos visuales del sueño natural e incluso en las experiencias cercanas a la muerte y otros estados místicos. el investigador médico J. C. Callaway, quien sugirió en 1988 que el DMT puede estar relacionado con el fenómeno del sueño visual, donde los niveles de DMT en el cerebro son periódicamente aumentados para inducir alucinaciones oníricas visuales y posiblemente otros estados naturales de conciencia.El doctor Rick Strassman, sugiere que puede estar relacionada con las experiencias cercanas a la muerte. Su síntesis podría darse en la glándula pineal

tau protein

Alzheimer's disease (AD) has become a growing problem in the medical, psychiatric, neurological, epidemiological, social and economic order, particularly in countries with a high life expectancy Alzheimer's dementia can be classified according to the age of onset in presenile or early onset, which appears before age 65 and senile or late onset, ie onset after age 65. It according to the presence or absence of a family history of the disease is classified into familial AD and sporadic AD, respectively. However, these classifications are not mutually exclusive. The development achieved by genetic has demonstrated the involvement of several chromosomes in the development of the disease. Chromosomes 1, 14 and 21 are associated with familial forms of start precoz. While late onset forms appear linked to chromosomes 12 and 19 In this paper we delved into the study of chromosome 21 and the amyloid beta protein , because there are many findings that relate to deposit excess am...

Substance P

Substance P is the first neuroactive substance that is proposed as a neurotransmitter. As for the pharmacological properties of substance P, they were demonstrated to check exhibiting potent hypotensive properties that were not blocked by atropine. He was later identified as the first active neuropeptide and was proposed as a neurotransmitter. In the 70s the structure is now known to contain eleven amino acids, of which six corresponding to the C-terminus are essential for its biological activity was determined. Substance P (SP) is a neuropeptide of eleven amino acids, are much smaller than other neurotransmitters amounts, is synthesized in the cell body and transported along the axon to the terminals, it is synthesized as part of a prepropeptide ( preproteins or precursors) of higher molecular weight which then moves to the cisterns of the endoplasmic reticulum, where it is disintegrated to produce a proprotein. The proprotein is transported to the Golgi apparatus, where they may fac...
