Depression Health Center
Serotonin: 9 Questions and Answers
5. Can diet influence our supply of serotonin?
It can, but in a roundabout way. Unlike calcium-rich foods, which can directly increase your blood levels of this mineral, there are no foods that can directly increase your body's supply of serotonin. That said, there are foods and some nutrients that can increase levels of tryptophan, the amino acid from which serotonin is made.
Protein-rich foods, such as meat or chicken, contain high levels of tryptophans. Tryptophan appears in dairy foods, nuts, and fowl. Ironically, however, levels of both tryptophan and serotonin drop after eating a meal packed with protein. Why? According to nutritionist Elizabeth Somer, when you eat a high-protein meal, you "flood the blood with both tryptophan and its competing amino acids," all fighting for entry into the brain. That means only a small amount of tryptophan gets through -- and serotonin levels don't rise.
But eat a carbohydrate-rich meal, and your body triggers a release of insulin. This, Somer says, causes any amino acids in the blood to be absorbed into the body -- but not the brain. Except for, you guessed it -- tryptophan! It remains in the bloodstream at high levels following a carbohydrate meal, which means it can freely enter the brain and cause serotonin levels to rise, she says.
What can also help: Getting an adequate supply of vitamin B-6, which can influence the rate at which tryptophan is converted to serotonin.
6. Can exercise boost serotonin levels?
Exercise can do a lot to improve your mood -- and across the board, studies have shown that regular exercise can be as effective a treatment for depression as antidepressant medication or psychotherapy. In the past, it was believed that several weeks of working out was necessary to see the effects on depression, but new research conducted at the University of Texas at Austin found that just a single 40-minute period of exercise can have an immediate effect on mood.
That said, it remains unclear of the exact mechanism by which exercise accomplishes this. While some believe it affects serotonin levels, to date there are no definitive studies showing that this is the case.
7. Do men and women have the same amount of serotonin -- and does it act the same way in their brain and body?
Studies show that men do have slightly more serotonin than women, but the difference is thought to be negligible. Interestingly, however, a study published in September 2007 in the journal Biological Psychiatry showed there might be a huge difference in how men and women react to a reduction in serotonin -- and that may be one reason why women suffer from depression far more than men.
Using a technique called "tryptophan depletion," which reduces serotonin levels in the brain, researchers found that men became impulsive but not necessarily depressed. Women, on the other hand, experienced a marked drop in mood and became more cautious, an emotional response commonly associated with depression. While the serotonin processing system seems the same in both sexes, researchers now believe men and women may use serotonin differently.

NPC Softball Championship:
By Ryan Bisesi
OLIN — Carson's softball team won its second-straight North Piedmont Conference tournament in an 8-0 victory against East Rowan Friday at North Iredell. Sidney Grkman doubled twice and Morgan Peninger homered as the Cougars knocked off the league's top seed going into the playoffs.
"When we play like a family, good things happen and it showed this week," Carson coach Dee Miller said. "We looked together."
Carson pitcher Lacee Hunsucker provided another beauty from the circle. After pitching all 10 innings of the Cougars' 6-3 triumph against North Iredell on Thursday, Hunsucker bared down and went the distance again. The sophomore right-hander allowed just five hits and one walk while striking out six.
"I was determined to get a shutout," said Hunsucker.
Hunsucker shook off some sicknesses from earlier in the day and repeated her performance from last year's NPC title game where she shut down North Iredell.
"She knows I'm going to tell her to suck it up," Miller said. "She's been in that place before."
Peninger hit the first home run of her prep career and drove in a team-best three RBIs. The junior second baseman turned on the first pitch she saw from Sydney Poole and whacked it over the left field fence in the third inning to make it 2-0.
"I wanted to prove myself and get my team going," Peninger said. "We wanted it so bad."
The teams split the regular season with East taking the last game but Hunsucker didn't allow the Mustangs to get to her this time. She escaped jams in the third and fifth innings.
"The other two games we've been able to hit her," East coach Mike Waddell said. "Whenever we did get chances we got them with two outs. "
Jana Bradshaw led off the second with a walk and was sacrificed over to third by two bunts. Kinsley Bean's single just over left side of the East infield brought in the game's first run.
After Peninger homered with one out in the third, Grkman doubled on the first pitch and scored on a wild pitch. Mariah Morgan blooped one to shallow left to make it 4-0.
In the fourth, Rachel Freeze singled and Kaycee Kennedy reached on a fielder's choice to set the stage for Peninger to come through again. She was decisive on the first pitch again, hitting a double to plate two. Kinsley Bean narrowly missed a home run on a RBI double in the sixth and Grkman drove in the final run in the sixth.
East won the NPC regular season and defeated South Rowan 11-1 Thursday after receiving a bye to the semifinal.
It was Carson's third game this week, which started with a 8-2 win against West Iredell.
"They've been in the situation last year," Miller said. "Three games in a row you know have to play. You just do your job."

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Rockford Fosgate Punch P132 by John Pollard Rockford Fosgate showcases their fanatical commitment to sonic excellence in the Punch Series of speakers, amps, and subs. If you like to listen to potent, powerful music — and feel it too — Punch components will give you impressive sound that'll stand out in a crowd. Rockford Fosgate designed the Punch P132 3-1/2" speakers as a high-grade replacement for your factory speakers. Each speaker features a responsive polypropylene cone and butyl rubber surround that'll stand up to hours of high-volume jams. Rockford Fosgate uses a new technique to attach the surround to the cone that yields up to 25% more cone area, for fuller sound and stronger performance. The dome tweeters provide clear, extended highs that can hold their own at high volume. Note: The oversized terminals on these speakers won't connect to a Crutchfield wiring harness. We recommend that you buy a 10-pack of female quick slides that you can splice onto our harness.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Injection-Molded Polypropylene Woofers: The woofer cones are mineral filled, injection-molded polypropylene. This molding process assures a uniform cone thickness for superior linearity and clarity. It is also light weight and rigid for decreased distortion and improved bass response. Butyl Rubber Surrounds: The butyl rubber surrounds dampen unwanted harmonic distortion while maintaining linear geometry under extreme weather conditions. This leads to less distortion, superior frequency response, and superior durability. VAST Surround: The Vertical Attach Surround Technique (VAST) increases a speaker's effective radiating cone area without increasing the size of the basket. Tweeters: Each speaker features a 3/4" PEI (Poly-Ether-Imide) dome; PEI is a polymer film that produces a wide soundstage for superior imaging. Speaker Terminals: These speakers have 0.25" positive (+) terminals and 0.187" negative (-) terminals, which are too large for the vehicle-specific speaker harnesses supplied by Crutchfield for many vehicle applications. It is recommended that a pack of assorted female quick slides (item number 120FQS10PK) be purchased and spliced to the harnesses to adapt them to the speaker terminals.

Sounds great easy install Was this review helpful? Yes | No 1 question already asked Is there 3 speakers I need to replace in the dashboard of my 2008 Dodge Ram Laramie 1500 Quadcab without navigation? And if so do they come in a set of 3? [ Hardo May 01, 2014 ] 1 answer I forwarded your question to an Advisor and they responded with the following: For your 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 Pickup Quad Cab with 7 speakers you do have 3 speakers in the dash. This speaker is in the middle of the dash and is used as center fill. We do not offer an aftermarket speaker that would be a direct replacement for it, so in this case I'd recommend leaving it and just replacing the other two dash speakers with the Kicker 40CS354 which would be a direct fit. These speakers are very efficient and they'll sound great even off a stock head unit. If you would like to discuss further you can contact an Advisor directly by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat.
