| Biochem/physiol Actions: |
Salsolinol is the condensation product of acetaldehyde and dopamine. Salsolinol is a potential neurotoxin suspected to contribute to alcohol abuse. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: |
Salsolinol is the condensation product of acetaldehyde and dopamine. Salsolinol is a potential neurotoxin suspected to contribute to alcohol abuse. It appears that salsolinol excites the ventral tegmental area (VTA) dopamine neurons indirectly by activating μ-opioid receptors (MORs), which inhibit GABA neurons in the VTA. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: |
Salsolinol, a neurotoxin, can serve as a prolactin-releasing factor and an etiological factor in the tuberoinfundibular pathway and in Parkinson′s disease (PD), respectively. It can also act as a modulator of catecholaminergic neurotransmission in the nigrostriatal pathway. In central nervous system, salsolinol can change the role of dopaminergic neurons and dopamine metabolism. |
