Feeling Depressed? Eat more Protein
On January 5th 2006 researchers annouced their studies, they
learned that protein p11 plays a key role in depression. Protein
p11 appears to regulate signaling of the brain chemical
Serotonin. In so many studies done before Serotonin has been
linked with depression and also anxiety disorders. The funny
thing is Serotinon is what nearly every anti-depressant is made
to regulate, including Prozac.
Whats the difference between protein p11 and Prozac you ask?
Prozac uses compounds called SSRIs, which increase levels of
Serotonin in your body. These compounds interact with 14
different serotonin receptors. Prozac stimulates some of the
receptors that cause negative side effects, p11 does not
interact with these receptors.
So is this the end all cure all? Maybe, some people react
differently, If you do not experience any positive effects from
anti-depressants then you can try Paxil. Which aims at the
future of antidepressants targeting the 5-HT receptors, which
cause very few side effects.
!Entreprenuer Alert! Since p11 is a natural (organic) chemical
it can not be patented! Using p11 in future antidepressants will
soon be huge. The funds to get such a business started are
unknown, but you could do some research and some deep pocket
investing to be the first to jump on this market.
