Complete Clinical Psychopharmacology: Reference guide for neurotransmitters, receptors, ligands and their functions

Complete Clinical Psychopharmacology constitutes a guide that is neither basic nor elemental, but offers the most recent and complete information, in a clear, concise and condensed text, making it also accessible to students as a study guide and the perfect reference and consult resource for physicians and psychologists. Complete Clinical Psychopharmacology covers the subject in two parts: first the most important pharmacology concepts and principles, and then the neurotransmitter systems, including their receptors, genes, specific functions and ligands for each receptor (drugs, medications or substances).The following neurotransmitter systems are covered in this book: Catecholamines (Dopamine and Adrenergic), Aminoacids (Glutamate, GABA and Glycine), Neuropeptides (Opioids, Sigma, Orexin, Tachykinin, NPBW, NPFF, Neuropeptide S, Neuropeptide Y, Bombesin, Neurotensine, Neuromedin S, Oxytocin, Vasopressin, Apelin, Cholecystokinin, CRH, Kisspeptin, Galanin, Ghrelin, VIP/PACAP, MCH, Melanocortin, Prokineticin, PrRP, CART, TRH, Neurotrophic Factor and GPR103), Tryptamines (Serotonin and Melatonin), Acethylcholine, Endocannabinoids and Others (Histamine, GHB, Adenosine, TAAR, Imidazoline, Vitamin D, GPR139, Hydrocarboxylic Acid and Ryanodine). It also includes a useful hepatic cytochrome P450 enzymes table, all the known psychopharmacologic substances metabolized for said enzymes and all the known substances that inhibit or stimulate said enzymes. Ideal for psychology and med students, psychologists, physicians and any other interested person with basic notions of biology and chemistry.
