4.N-Acetyl Serotonin
5.5-HTP
Enzymes:
A.tryptophan 5-hydroxylase
B.acetylserotonin O-methyltransferase

- B40-60% and 20 to 30 Minutes.
- C15-25% and 60 to 90 Minutes.
- D60-80% and 90 to 120 Minutes.
4Melatonin is regulated by Norepinephrine by which pathway:

Enzyme:
A.PKA
B.AANAT
Receptor:
a.Beta Adrenergic- A1aBA
- BBa1A
- CAB1a
- D1aAB
5Light of which of the following wavelength criteria will not inhibit melatonin
- AUnder 530 nm.
- BOver 480 nm.
- COver 530 nm.
- DUnder 480 nm.
6Dopamine plays a role in Melatonin secretion by:
- AProviding negative feedback to Melatonin formation.
- BUpregulating Melatonin receptors.
- CEnhancing the effects of Norepinephrine on Melatonin secretion.
- DIncreasing in response to Melatonin binding with receptors.
75HT has which of the following functions and changes:
- AIt decreases Serotonin production.
- BIt is decreased by AANAT to be converted to Melatonin.
- CIt is produced only during the day.
- DIts production leads to increased sympathetic activity and receptor activation on the pineal gland, ultimately leading to decreased Melatonin synthesis.
- EDopamine activation of the D4 receptor heteromeres decreases 5HT in the morning.
8The Pineal Gland is located outside of the blood brain barrier.
- AVerdadeiro
- BFalso
