Analysis on content of serum monoamine neurotransmitters in macaques with anger-in-induced premenstrual syndrome and liver-qi depression syndrome

Abstract

Anger-in emotion can induce liver-qi depression syndrome which is related to the changes in monoamine neurotransmitters.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Body Constitutions and Psychological Determinants of Depression among University Students in Malaysia: A Pilot Study

“…Dysregulation of the liver qi is the main cause of depression, and is associated with the neuroendocrine system [ 114 ]. Preliminary studies in Western medicine support that dysregulation of the norepinephrine system located in the locus coeruleus (LC/NE) and the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis (HPA) might be a root cause for depression [ 114 , 115 ].…”

An East Meets West Approach to the Understanding of Emotion Dysregulation in Depression: From Perspective to Scientific Evidence

“…Studies have explored the symptoms of the abnormal rising of the liver qi that are correlated with a lack of regulation of the ANS (Yue and Tian, 1995), a deficiency of serotonin, and an excessive level of NE (Spiegelhalder et al., 2011; Wei et al., 2012). However, another study claimed that NE level is not related to the severity of depression because of the different stages of depression (Yuan et al., 2004).…”

“…Other groups verified PMS or premenstrual dysphoric disorder models using similar strategies [ 23 – 25 ]. We selected healthy female Wistar rats through vaginal smear screening, established a PMS depression rat model by means of constraint [ 26 ], and studied the animals in a body weight gain test, open-field test, and sucrose preference test. Reduced weight gain in model rats suggested that emotional stress and chronic unpredictable mild stress have the same inhibitory effects on weight gain [ 27 ].…”
