3. Smooth muscle contraction, Blood pressure regulation, Capillary permeability enhancement by blood vessel dilation, Gastric juice secretion, Serotonin

1. The amino acids are the building blocks of serotonin, the essential neurotransmitter of our body. These local hormones are present in bulk in the digestive system, blood platelet, and central nervous system.
2. Serotonin has a noticeable contribution to mood stabilization, sharpening memory, and the cognitive system. But, do you know the lack of this neurotransmitter causes depression and anxiety?
