Serotonin
A neurotransmitter and hormone derived from the amino acid tryptophan (5-hydroxytryptamine), which regulates mood, sleep, appetite, gut movements and blood clotting; it was isolated and named in 1948 in the United States. This family brings together the active ingredient, metabolites, labelled standards and other impurities.
Did you know?As early as the 1930s the Italian Vittorio Erspamer had discovered it in gut cells, calling it enteramine; the name serotonin instead combines serum and tone, because it acts on the tone of blood vessels.
