“In vivo, extracellular unitary recording of 5-HT neurons performed in the dorsal raphe nucleus of these rats revealed that DHEA , 5beta-DHP and 3alpha,5alpha-THP significantly increased the firing activity of the 5-HT neurons.”
“It is hypothesized that DHEA augments the production of serotonin while d-fenfluramine enhances its release, and together these two actions may account for the synergistic action of DHEA and d-fenfluramine.”
“The aim of this study is to emphasize by DFT calculation the possible existence of a complex between DHEA and serotonin that may have the properties of a new drug.”
