    Estradiol upregulates tryptophan hydroxylase and thus serotonin production.  The signaling was via ER beta and estrogen response elements.

  • estrogen administration has been found to increase tryptophan hydroxylase
  • 5-HT2A mRNA levels in brain areas relevant for the control of mood, mental state and cognition (Sumner and Fink, 1998) and 5-HTT mRNA when administered for a longer period
  • n the other hand, estrogen treatment has also been observed to decrease mRNA related to serotonergic neurotransmission
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Furthermore, acute estrogen administration decreases 5-HTT mRNA levels (Pecins-Thompson et al., 1998) and 5-HT1A mRNA levels and binding
  • assigning the effects of estrogen on serotonin to a homogenous functional class of stimulation or inhibition seems not to be feasible
  • Progesterone has been suggested to increase serotonergic neurotransmission via the regulation of the expression of serotonin-related genes and proteins
  • menopausal women gain less benefit from antidepressant treatments compared to women during their reproductive years
