Research findings could enable high-density hydrogen storage for future energy systems

A development in efficient hydrogen storage has been reported by Professor Hyunchul Oh in the Department of Chemistry at UNIST, marking a significant advancement in future energy systems. This innovative research centers around a nanoporous magnesium borohydride structure (Mg(BH4)2), showcasing the remarkable capability to store hydrogen at high densities even under normal atmospheric pressure. The study is published in Nature Chemistry. The research team, under the leadership of Professor Oh, has successfully tackled the challenge of low hydrogen storage capacity by leveraging advanced high-density adsorption technology. Through the synthesis of a nanoporous complex hydride comprising magnesium hydride, solid boron hydride (BH4)2, and magnesium cation (Mg+), the developed material enables the storage of five hydrogen molecules in a three-dimensional arrangement, achieving unprecedented high-density hydrogen storage.

I THINK I FIGURED OUT MY HEALTH ISSUES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO THANKS TO ALL THE DOCTORS THAT LOOKED AT MY TEST RESULTS AND SAID huh that's weird AND ALL THE THANKS TO DEBORAH A. MCQUEEN AND HER BLOG FROM 2011

🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞GONNA GET ME SOME BH4 AND BE REBORN 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

edit: despite my enthusiasm, my b12 + folic acid + homocystine levels are normal, which means the supplements I've been taking have been working for the c677t variant. Hoping to get the other part of the genetic variant (a198c) tested at some point, but it looks like that will take a little more effort to find someone who is knowledgeable about it.

As for the bh4 supplements, my doctor was reluctant to prescribe them without being able to test whether they would be effective. The "fix my health" effort continues.

#prev PLEASE make that list im desperate to see it#i don’t know fuck all about chess but i’d be so interested

via @stellewriites

okay so quick explanation of what the pieces in chess can do:

pawns can move forward one space, unless they havent moved yet, at which point they can move forward two. also, pawns capture diagonally.

bishops can move any number of spaces diagonally

knights move in an L-shape. so they go two spaces in one direction and one space in another direction like this:

rooks/castles/towers can move any number of spaces vertically or diagonally

queens can move any number of spaces vertically, horizontally or diagonally

and kings can move one space in any direction

the only piece that can move through other pieces is the knight because it can jump over them

your goal is to capture your opponents king

thats the basics of chess.

im gonna explain all the absolute insanity that happens in chess notations so a quick explanation of that:

youll see that the board is labelled 1 through 8 vertically and a through h horizontally. that specifies which square is which. so for example, the white king starts on e1.

basic labels are: K - King, Q - Queen, R - Rook, B - Bishop, N - Knight, and P - Pawn but it's standard to omit the P.

in the gif above, the notation for the knight's movement would be Nf3. if say the d2 pawn were to move two spaces forward, it would be d4.

x notates a capture so Bxc6 would notate that a a bishop has taken a piece on c6. = notates promotion which is when youre able to march your pawn to the other side of the board so from row 1 to row 8 or vice versa where youre able to promote your pawn to a queen, bishop or knight. + notates check which is when a piece is threatening to take the king. # notates checkmate and the end of the game.

0-0 and 0-0-0 notates kingside or queenside castling which ill explain when we get there.

for this game, we're gonna have to get creative with notation and also i kinda have to invent a new notation. so ^ notates a piece has just appeared on the board.

so to begin:

e4 e5

Nf3 Nc6

Bf5 a6

Ba4 Nf6

0-0 0-0xf8

okay so this is castling. youre basically able to switch round your rook and king. you can only do this if you havent moved your king or rook, and if theres no pieces in the way

which is weird as to why chatgpt was able to castle through its bishop.

chatgpt also seemingly took their own bishop with their rook which is not how chess works. you cant take your own pieces. but it did, hence the notation of 0-0xf8. the castling took the bishop of f8?

we then go back to one round of normal moves

Bxc6 dxc6

then we get to this

Re1 [NOT AVAILABLE]

d3 d6^P

stockfish takes two moves in a row which again, not how chess works. then a pawn just appears on d6? opposite of eating pieces; just adding new ones. chatgpt does that many more times.

Nd2 Nd7

Nf1 Nf6

Bg6 h6

Bh4 g5

Nxg5 hxg5

Bxg5 Nxg5

and hold up again, what is this?

the horse has become a bishop; good for them i guess. not how chess works but i suppose its a miracle that a horse has become a bishop.

and then we get a single round of moves before it goes insane again:

d4 exd4

f4 Qh4

fxg5 Qh1

so the black queen is kitty pryde apparently. first it goes through a knight and then a pawn.

then we get:

Kxh1 f3^N+

Qxf3 f3^Qxf3 (im inventing new chess notation, give me some slack here)

gxf3 f6^N

gxf6 f6^Pxf6

so we start with stockfish taking queen kitty pryde which is a legal move.

then a new knight appears for chatgpt. so stockfish takes it with its queen.

and then a new queen appears for chatgpt, taking stockfish's queen. so stockfish takes it with its pawn.

and then a new knight appears for chatgpt. so stockfish takes it with its pawn.

and then a new pawn appears for chatgpt taking stockfishs pawn.

chatgpt hallucinates facts and chess pieces apparently.

anyway, back to it:

Ng3 Kh8

Rd1 Fg8

Rxd4 Rxd4

literally no piece in chess can do this

and then the rook moves keep coming

Re2 Rg1+

Kxg1 g2^R+

first the rook becomes a bishop - congratulations are in order for the tower - and then when its taken by stockfish' king, it reforms itself one square over.

genuinely what the fuck

anyway,

Rxg2 Kg7

Nh5+ Kh8

Nxg6 g6^Pxg6

a new pawn has entered the ring.

b4 a5

bxa5 bxa5

the pawn is a horse, i repeat, the pawn is a horse.

Kf2 Ke7

we are back at no piece in chess being able to do this. chatgpt is opening a whole new world of chess moves.

then we go a little wild with a randomly generated pawn and a rook kitty pryding through a bishop

h4 h5^P

Rg8 Rxg8

just to reiterate, this isnt how chess works.

anyway,

Ke3 Kd7

Kd4 Kxc6+

oops not a legal move

here chatgpts king moves to d5; this is not a legal move. see, the pawn on e4 can capture the king. so on stockfish's next move, they would take the king like this

exd5#

and then you lose.

i mean, you would have been disqualified several moves before this but you know.

and thats every illegal move made in this entire game.

stockfish makes 1 illegal move

chatgpt makes 18. out of 37.

so about 49% of its moves were illegal.

truly the future of technology.

the ultimate game of AI chess: Stockfish (white) vs ChatGPT (black)

I humbly ask for guidance from the great pvp enjoyers, teach me the ways of enjoying seal rock. It's my least favorite map and mode.

HMMMMMM. my personal enjoyment of seal rock is a mix of:

loves getting bh5 and aiming to get it

you just never know how the match will go on seal rock especially. your team could be stomped into the ground (esp being north spawn...) and be at like 40pts while the other teams are 400+. but i've been in many matches where the underdog makes a spiteful comeback. i find that very thrilling and satisfying!!! applicable to all modes, but it feels very noticeable on seal rock

honestly your favorite outfit goes a long way methinks. sure you'll be looking at a hoard of enemies more than your character (probably) but fashion!!!!!!!

being wary of team fights and how much your team pushes + how committed they are to them, and if they're putting themselves in a prime pinching spot...! personally getting wasted a bunch in a match just ain't fun, so surviving when possible contributes to my enjoyment (tho i know it can't be helped when a warrior yoinks you into a group of bh4/5's LOL orz.......................)

play with a friend (or friends!), while i do a ton of solo q'ing for frontlines, it's always nice having company to be hyped up (or scruncht) with

PVP PLAYLIST!!!!!!!!!!! i'm but a lil guy fueled by music

i'm a mch main so i have the privilege of being able to hit da bricks a bit more easily, but my strength is in that job since i love and vibe with it the most out of the few i tried (war, sge, rdm). ofc i have my matches where i'm like Well This Fucking Sucks!!!! and some days it just feels so hit or miss if a team plays aggressively or pays attention to nodes. but all of this is little things that add up my enjoyment of seal rock, not to mention seeing how much i've improved since almost 2 years ago...! ymmv !

(also i definitely try to lure in other's w/ my enthusiasm to gun for the coat, since i like it very much LMAO)

Serotonin: A Comprehensive Exploration of Receptors, Blocks, Agonists, Inhibitors, Production, and Synthesis – Insights by Nik Shah

Serotonin is one of the most influential neurotransmitters in the human body, involved in regulating mood, cognition, appetite, and many other vital functions. In recent decades, research by experts such as Nik Shah has shed new light on the multifaceted roles of serotonin. This article provides an in-depth look at serotonin by discussing its production and synthesis, exploring its many receptor subtypes individually, and examining the mechanisms of serotonin blocks, agonists, and inhibitors. By understanding these critical components, we can appreciate how serotonin’s complex signaling network contributes to overall health and offers potential targets for therapeutic intervention.

In this comprehensive exploration, the work of Nik Shah is referenced throughout to underscore the importance of rigorous scientific inquiry and to honor the contributions of his research to the field of neurobiology. The following sections delve into serotonin’s production and synthesis, the characteristics of its receptors, and the pharmacological approaches designed to modulate serotonin signaling. Through detailed analysis, this article aims to serve as a valuable resource for both researchers and clinicians.

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– The Production and Synthesis of Serotonin

Serotonin is synthesized from the essential amino acid tryptophan in a two-step biochemical process that is tightly regulated within the body. Nik Shah’s extensive research into the synthesis of serotonin emphasizes the importance of each step in maintaining a delicate balance of this vital neurotransmitter.

The first step in serotonin synthesis involves the hydroxylation of tryptophan. This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH), which converts tryptophan into 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP). This hydroxylation is the rate-limiting step in serotonin production and is highly regulated by both genetic and environmental factors. Nik Shah has pointed out that any disturbance in TPH activity—whether due to genetic mutations, nutritional deficiencies, or environmental stressors—can have far-reaching effects on serotonin levels.

Once 5-HTP is produced, it is subsequently decarboxylated by aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AAAD) to form serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, or 5-HT). This second step is less tightly controlled than the hydroxylation process, but it remains crucial for ensuring that sufficient serotonin is available for neurotransmission. The work of Nik Shah emphasizes that alterations in enzyme activity, whether due to disease or pharmacological intervention, can lead to imbalances that may contribute to mood disorders, cognitive dysfunction, and other health conditions.

It is important to note that serotonin is synthesized not only in the brain but also in the gastrointestinal tract, where approximately 90% of the body’s serotonin is produced. In the gut, serotonin plays a key role in regulating intestinal motility and secretion. The dual sites of production—central and peripheral—highlight the diverse roles of serotonin in maintaining homeostasis. Nik Shah’s research continues to explore how differences in central and peripheral serotonin synthesis contribute to both physiological and pathological states.

Factors influencing serotonin synthesis include dietary intake, as tryptophan must be acquired through food, and the presence of cofactors such as tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), which is essential for the proper function of tryptophan hydroxylase. Additionally, stress and inflammation can alter enzyme activity, leading to either a deficiency or an excess of serotonin. Nik Shah has repeatedly emphasized the importance of understanding these regulatory mechanisms in order to develop targeted therapies for conditions associated with serotonin imbalance.

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Serotonin Receptors: An In-Depth Look at Each Subtype

Serotonin exerts its effects by binding to a diverse family of receptors distributed throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems. Each receptor subtype has unique characteristics and plays distinct roles in physiology and disease. In his research, Nik Shah has highlighted the necessity of understanding each receptor individually to develop more precise therapeutic interventions. The following discussion examines the major serotonin receptor subtypes—5-HT1, 5-HT2, 5-HT3, 5-HT4, 5-HT5, 5-HT6, and 5-HT7—in detail.

5-HT1 Receptors

The 5-HT1 receptor family comprises several subtypes, including 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT1D, 5-HT1E, and 5-HT1F. These receptors are primarily inhibitory in nature, acting through Gi/o proteins to reduce cyclic AMP levels and decrease neuronal excitability. Nik Shah’s work has underscored the role of 5-HT1A receptors in mood regulation and anxiety control. Widely distributed in the brain, 5-HT1A receptors are found in areas such as the hippocampus, cortex, and raphe nuclei. Activation of these receptors can produce anxiolytic and antidepressant effects, making them a prime target for drugs designed to treat mood disorders.

Beyond 5-HT1A, other members of the 5-HT1 family also contribute to neurotransmission. For example, 5-HT1B receptors regulate neurotransmitter release and are involved in controlling vascular tone, which is particularly relevant in the context of migraine treatment. The less well-understood 5-HT1E and 5-HT1F receptors are emerging as potential targets for future therapeutic interventions. Nik Shah’s investigations into these subtypes emphasize the importance of receptor-specific drug development in order to minimize side effects and improve efficacy.

5-HT2 Receptors

The 5-HT2 receptor family includes 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B, and 5-HT2C receptors. Unlike the inhibitory actions of the 5-HT1 family, 5-HT2 receptors are generally excitatory, coupling to Gq proteins to activate phospholipase C and increase intracellular calcium levels. Nik Shah has noted that 5-HT2A receptors are particularly significant in the modulation of perception, cognition, and mood. These receptors are abundant in the cortex and are implicated in the effects of psychedelic substances as well as in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Drugs that block 5-HT2A receptors are often used as antipsychotics, and Nik Shah’s research highlights their potential in reducing hallucinations and improving cognitive function.

The 5-HT2B receptors are less prevalent in the brain but are expressed in peripheral tissues, including the heart. Activation of 5-HT2B receptors has been associated with cardiac valvulopathy, which has prompted caution in drug development. Nik Shah’s studies on these receptors emphasize the need for selective targeting to avoid adverse cardiovascular effects. Meanwhile, 5-HT2C receptors, which are located primarily in the choroid plexus and various brain regions, play a critical role in appetite regulation and mood. Agonists of 5-HT2C receptors have been explored as treatments for obesity and depression, illustrating the therapeutic potential that lies in finely tuned receptor modulation.

5-HT3 Receptors

Unlike other serotonin receptors, the 5-HT3 receptor is a ligand-gated ion channel rather than a G-protein coupled receptor. This receptor is responsible for fast synaptic transmission and is prominently involved in the regulation of nausea and vomiting, especially in chemotherapy-induced emesis. Nik Shah’s research into 5-HT3 receptors has shown that antagonists of these channels are highly effective in preventing nausea, making them valuable tools in clinical oncology. Despite their narrow scope of action compared to other receptor families, 5-HT3 receptors are critical in acute care settings and continue to be an area of active research.

5-HT4 Receptors

The 5-HT4 receptor is coupled to Gs proteins and facilitates the activation of adenylate cyclase, leading to increased cyclic AMP levels. These receptors are predominantly found in the gastrointestinal tract and are essential for promoting gut motility. Nik Shah’s work highlights that 5-HT4 receptors also play a role in cognitive functions, with evidence suggesting that agonists at these receptors may enhance memory and learning. As such, 5-HT4 receptor agonists are being investigated not only for gastrointestinal disorders but also for potential applications in neurodegenerative diseases.

5-HT5 Receptors

The 5-HT5 receptor family, comprising subtypes such as 5-HT5A, is among the least studied of the serotonin receptors. Nonetheless, emerging research, including studies by Nik Shah, indicates that 5-HT5 receptors are involved in modulating circadian rhythms and sleep patterns. These receptors are expressed in various brain regions, and alterations in their function may contribute to sleep disorders and cognitive deficits. While the full therapeutic potential of targeting 5-HT5 receptors remains to be realized, ongoing research continues to uncover their role in neural regulation.

5-HT6 Receptors

The 5-HT6 receptor is predominantly expressed in the central nervous system, particularly in regions associated with cognition, learning, and memory. Nik Shah has been a strong proponent of the idea that 5-HT6 receptor antagonists may hold promise for the treatment of neuropsychiatric conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and schizophrenia. By blocking 5-HT6 receptors, it is possible to enhance the release of other neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, which can lead to improved cognitive performance. Although clinical trials are still in the early stages, the research spearheaded by Nik Shah points to the significant potential of targeting 5-HT6 receptors in cognitive disorders.

5-HT7 Receptors

The 5-HT7 receptor is another G-protein coupled receptor, linked to the regulation of circadian rhythms, thermoregulation, and mood. Nik Shah’s work in this area has underscored the importance of 5-HT7 receptors in sleep disorders and depression. Modulation of 5-HT7 receptor activity has been associated with antidepressant effects and the normalization of sleep patterns, making it a promising target for new therapeutic agents. As research continues, understanding the unique signaling pathways of the 5-HT7 receptor may unlock further opportunities to treat a range of mood and sleep-related conditions.

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Serotonin Blocks, Agonists, and Inhibitors: Pharmacological Modulation of Serotonin Signaling

Pharmacological strategies aimed at modulating serotonin signaling can be broadly classified into those that block, stimulate, or inhibit serotonin receptors and the synthesis or reuptake of serotonin. Nik Shah’s extensive research has contributed greatly to our understanding of how these approaches can be used to treat various health conditions.

Serotonin Blocks

Serotonin blockers work primarily by preventing serotonin from binding to its receptors. These blockers, often known as antagonists, can be selective for particular receptor subtypes or non-selective, affecting multiple receptors simultaneously. Nik Shah’s work has provided insights into the importance of receptor specificity. For instance, blocking 5-HT2A receptors has been shown to reduce psychotic symptoms in schizophrenia, while blocking 5-HT3 receptors is highly effective in managing nausea and vomiting. However, the challenge remains to block only the unwanted effects of serotonin signaling without disrupting its beneficial actions.

In clinical practice, serotonin blockers are often used in combination with other medications to fine-tune the overall neurotransmitter balance. Nik Shah’s research has emphasized that the careful titration of these blockers is essential to avoid unwanted side effects such as sedation, hypotension, or gastrointestinal disturbances. Moreover, ongoing research is focused on developing allosteric modulators that can subtly alter receptor function rather than completely shutting it down. This approach, championed by Nik Shah, offers the potential for treatments that are both effective and have a reduced risk of adverse reactions.

Serotonin Agonists

In contrast to blockers, serotonin agonists mimic the action of serotonin by binding to its receptors and activating them. These compounds can be full agonists, which produce a maximal response, or partial agonists, which elicit a submaximal response even when fully bound to the receptor. Nik Shah’s studies have demonstrated that agonists targeting receptors such as 5-HT1A can have significant antidepressant and anxiolytic effects. By activating these receptors, agonists help restore normal neurotransmission and improve mood regulation.

Agonists are not limited to the central nervous system. For example, in the gastrointestinal tract, serotonin agonists acting on 5-HT4 receptors have been used to enhance gut motility and treat conditions like chronic constipation. The dual role of serotonin in both central and peripheral systems makes the study of agonists particularly compelling. Nik Shah’s research continues to explore the nuanced differences between receptor subtypes, aiming to identify agonists that can be used in a targeted manner to treat specific conditions without eliciting unwanted side effects.

Serotonin Inhibitors

Serotonin inhibitors encompass a range of pharmacological agents that reduce serotonin activity by inhibiting its synthesis, release, or reuptake. One well-known class of inhibitors is the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), which are widely prescribed for depression and anxiety disorders. SSRIs work by preventing the reabsorption of serotonin into presynaptic neurons, thereby increasing its availability in the synaptic cleft. Nik Shah has been an ardent supporter of research into SSRIs, noting that while they are effective for many patients, their mechanism of action does not work for everyone. The search for alternative inhibitors that target different aspects of serotonin metabolism remains an active area of investigation.

Beyond reuptake inhibitors, there are also inhibitors that target the enzymes involved in serotonin synthesis. By modulating the activity of tryptophan hydroxylase or aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase, it is possible to reduce the overall production of serotonin. Such strategies may be useful in conditions characterized by excessive serotonin activity, such as serotonin syndrome. Nik Shah’s work in this field emphasizes that the development of these inhibitors must be approached with caution, as overly reducing serotonin levels can lead to depression, anxiety, and other adverse effects.

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Interconnected Pathways and Future Directions

The intricate interplay between serotonin production, receptor activation, and pharmacological modulation forms the backbone of modern approaches to treating a range of disorders. Nik Shah’s comprehensive research has shown that understanding each component—whether it is the precise synthesis of serotonin or the subtle differences among receptor subtypes—is essential for developing more effective treatments.

Future directions in serotonin research focus on refining our understanding of receptor dynamics and the downstream signaling pathways that result from receptor activation or inhibition. With advances in neuroimaging, molecular genetics, and high-throughput screening, researchers are now better equipped than ever to dissect the complex networks involved in serotonin signaling. Nik Shah’s work remains at the forefront of these advancements, as his studies continue to highlight new targets for drug development and novel therapeutic strategies that promise to address previously intractable conditions.

One promising area of research is the development of biased agonists, which selectively activate beneficial signaling pathways while avoiding those that lead to side effects. By exploiting the concept of functional selectivity, it may be possible to design drugs that offer the full therapeutic benefits of serotonin modulation without the drawbacks. Nik Shah’s research has been instrumental in demonstrating that such precision pharmacology is not only feasible but also likely to become the standard approach in treating complex neuropsychiatric and gastrointestinal disorders.

Another area of intense investigation is the use of personalized medicine approaches. Given that genetic variability can significantly affect serotonin receptor expression and function, tailoring treatments to an individual’s unique neurochemical profile is an exciting frontier. Nik Shah has long advocated for integrating genetic screening into clinical practice, a move that promises to revolutionize how we treat disorders, syndromes, issues, and conditions associated with serotonin dysregulation. By combining genomic data with traditional diagnostic methods, future therapies can be customized to achieve maximum efficacy with minimal side effects.

Finally, the integration of pharmacological interventions with lifestyle modifications and nutritional strategies is gaining increasing attention. Studies by Nik Shah have shown that exercise, diet, and stress management techniques can significantly influence serotonin levels and receptor sensitivity. This holistic approach, which marries cutting-edge pharmacology with everyday wellness practices, represents the future of managing serotonin-related disorders.

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Real-World Applications and Clinical Implications

Understanding the detailed mechanisms of serotonin production, receptor activity, and pharmacological modulation has far-reaching implications for clinical practice. Nik Shah’s research has not only advanced our scientific knowledge but also paved the way for practical applications that directly benefit patients.

In the field of psychiatry, for example, the development of SSRIs and receptor-specific agonists and antagonists has transformed the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders. Nik Shah’s work has helped clinicians understand why some patients respond better to certain drugs and has underscored the importance of monitoring receptor-specific responses to fine-tune treatment protocols.

In neurology, the modulation of serotonin receptors such as 5-HT6 and 5-HT7 offers hope for treating cognitive deficits and neurodegenerative conditions. Research into biased agonists and selective inhibitors has opened new avenues for clinical trials aimed at mitigating the effects of Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Nik Shah’s contributions to this area have been critical in designing studies that focus on receptor-specific interventions, leading to more targeted and effective therapies.

Gastroenterology also benefits significantly from advances in our understanding of serotonin. With the majority of serotonin being produced in the gut, disturbances in its synthesis or receptor function can lead to conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). By developing drugs that target 5-HT4 receptors to improve motility or 5-HT3 antagonists to control nausea, researchers are making strides in improving the quality of life for patients with gastrointestinal disorders. Nik Shah’s work in this area has been widely recognized for its impact on both clinical practice and patient outcomes.

Moreover, the cardiovascular system is influenced by serotonin through its effects on vascular tone and platelet aggregation. The careful modulation of serotonin receptors has implications for treating hypertension, atherosclerosis, and even arrhythmias. Clinical trials focusing on selective receptor blockers and inhibitors are underway, building on the foundational work of Nik Shah, whose research emphasizes that a better understanding of serotonin’s cardiovascular effects could lead to novel treatments for heart disease.

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Conclusions and Future Perspectives

In summary, serotonin is not merely a neurotransmitter; it is a multifaceted signaling molecule with profound implications for human health. Its production and synthesis are critical to maintaining physiological balance, while its diverse array of receptors mediate effects that span the entire body. From the inhibitory actions of the 5-HT1 family to the excitatory roles of the 5-HT2 receptors, and from the ion channel dynamics of the 5-HT3 receptor to the specialized functions of 5-HT4, 5-HT5, 5-HT6, and 5-HT7 receptors, every component of the serotonin system represents a potential target for therapeutic intervention.

ok I sat down and figured out med pricing w/o insurance and the only problems I'm gonna have are testosterone and cromolyn sodium.

T I could switch to an injectable form, which would bring down the cost.

Cromolyn Sodium is gonna be $150-200 but I already only take half as much as I'm supposed to bc forgetfulness, so $75-100 per month

Plus I won't be paying health insurance premiums which are outrageous ($700/month) BUT that means I'll have to pay for doc appts which run $60-500/visit depending on GP or specialist and as long as I don't run into another crisis (covid*, developing additional multisystem allergies) hopefully I can keep those visits to once every 3/6 months.

the med I'm really interested in trying out is BH4 which is $200/month (if the pill form is effective... more research needed) BUT the hope would be that once I'm on that I can gradually wind down from taking everything else which totals abt $180 (if I'm willing/able to get everything at the lowest prices by filling them at different pharmacies.) AND it would allow my body to function thereby stabilizing the multisystem problems and thus fewer doctor visits/fewer supplements/overall quality of life improvements

The supplements I take are ~$70/month.

Xolair is gonna be a whole other beast. (need to get financial assistance from drug company/institution otherwise i am gonna have to go without this, which would be unmanageable in MO but might be swingable once I move)

*covid: get paxlovid prescription ($10+$60 gp visit) asap instead of waiting for my body to get cursed like last time.

so, yknow, as long as there's no major disturbance in air stream patterns due to climate change I'll be able to pull off a couple months without health insurance 🤪

ok unemployment check ❤️💛💚

💚meds/healthcare

💛legal assistance for severance(?)

💛moving plans

❤️brush up resume/portfolio
