la sérotonine combat un type de mycose (en anglais)
Posté : 30 janv. 2006 21:57
cette étude parle du rôle de la sérotonine dans la lutte contre un type de mycose.
le zoloft est un antidépresseur qui comme tous les anti-dépresseurs augmente la production de sérotonine.
est ce que ceux d'entre vous qui prennent un anti-dépresseur ont fait le même constat?

Serotonin - Can Fight Fungus
By Stephen Pincock (Reuters Health)
The neurotransmitter serotonin could form the basis of new antifungal drugs, according to researchers who have shown in the lab that serotonin can kill one type of fungus that frequently infects humans.
Two years ago, the University of Innsbruck team showed that antidepressants called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) could also inhibit fungi.
Serotonin seemed to suppress the symptoms of vaginal candidiasis, or yeast infection, in women. The patients found they had no flare-ups of the yeast infection while taking Zoloft to treat premenstrual dysphoric disorder, but when they stopped taking the drug the infection returned.
"My colleague who had these patients asked me to test the antifungal effect of serotonin," all hindered the growth of Aspergillus and Candida species.
Fungi belonging to the Candida family are responsible for yeast infections, and can also cause thrush, an infection of the mouth and throat.
Aspergillus fungi can also infect humans.
Because (SSRIs) increase serotonin levels during treatment, the researchers tested serotonin directly against a range of Candida species.
The researchers report in this month's issue of the Journal of Medical Microbiology that serotonin was active against all four species tested.
