but estrogen and cortisol upregulated 5ht2a - the conversion from testosterone to estrogen (estradiol) can be slowed by fish oil too!!
>ahh..maybe THAT is why so many females seem to have trouble with fish oil..me included..can only get to 1 capsule daily(and that 3 months to tolerate)..even after 1 year, can't tolerate 2 capsules..acne and gas
> Just wonder whether 5HT2a upregulation has implications for breast and prostate cancer (raised estradiol), type 2 diabetes and associated vascular, brain, kidney and eye disease - if that's the case, when treating the body's neurotransmitter imbalances, we should perhaps also look at underlying causes that may cause chronic disease elsewhere in the body?
>don't think it's all that simple <g>. Estradiol and proabably all estrogens up or down regulate different receptors and bind or don't bind with similar receptors in different locns..I get lost , (yet again)
On the other hand with drugs that up/down regulate various neurotransmitters/ receptors ..you can be sure they are having other effects on various parts of the body..especially the liver, kidney, adrenals etc
