Functional facets of dopaminergic system and cancer. Part 1
Abstract
The review is devoted to multifunctional properties of dopaminergic system. Dopamine is synthesized in the central nervous system and gastrointestinal tract. The first part of the review presents the current literature data on the role of dopamine in the aging process. We also discuss the mechanisms underlying depressive disorder in terms of participation of the dopaminergic system to bring together some concepts: monoaminergic, inflammatory, epigenetic, neurotrophins and anti-apoptotic.
