On January th researchers annouced their studies, they learned that protein p plays a key role in depression. Protein p appears to regulate signaling of the brain chemical Serotonin. In so many studies done before Serotonin has been linked with depression and also anxiety disorders. The funny thing is Serotinon is what nearly every anti-depressant is made to regulate, including Prozac. Whats the difference between protein p and Prozac you ask? Prozac uses compounds called SSRIs, which increase levels of Serotonin in your body. These compounds interact with different serotonin receptors. Prozac stimulates some of the receptors that cause negative side effects, p does not interact with these receptors. So is this the end all cure all? Maybe, some people react differently, If you do not experience any positive effects from anti-depressants then you can try Paxil. Which aims at the future of antidepressants targeting the -HT receptors, which cause very few side effects. !Entreprenuer Alert! Since p is a natural (organic) chemical it can not be patented! Using p in future antidepressants will soon be huge. The funds to get such a business started are unknown, but you could do some research and some deep pocket investing to be the first to jump on this market.
