  Reuptake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reuptake is the reabsorption of a neurotransmitter by the molecular transporter of a pre-synaptic neuron after it has performed its function of transmitting a neural impulse.
Reuptake: The reabsorption of a secreted substance by the cell that originally produced and secreted it.
The serotonin either travels across that space and attaches to receptors on the surface of nearby nerves or it attaches to receptors on the surface of the nerve that produced it, to be taken up by the nerve, recycled, and released again.

 Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) are a class of antidepressant used in the treatment of clinical depression and other affective disorders.
Activity on norephinephine reuptake is thought necessary for an antidepressant to be effective on neuropathic pain, a property shared with the older tricyclic antidepressants but not with the SSRIs.
After firing, most of the neurotransmitter is reabsorbed by the presynaptic cell in a process called reuptake.

 Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The neurotransmitters are then recognized by receptors on the surface of the recipient cell, which upon this stimulation, in turn, relays the signal.
As a result, the serotonin stays in the synaptic gap longer than it normally would, and has the chance to be recognized again (and again) by the receptors of the recipient cell, which can finally be stimulated that way.
It is well known that the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) can cause various types of sexual dysfunction such as anorgasmia, erectile dysfunction, and diminished libido.

 Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors | AHealthyMe.com
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are used to treat serious, continuing depression that interferes with a person's ability to function.
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors also are used to treat panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), and have shown promise for treating a variety of other conditions, such as premenstrual syndrome, eating disorders, obesity, self-mutilation, and migraine headache.
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, also known as SSRIs or serotonin boosters, are thought to work by correcting chemical imbalances in the brain.

 Re: what is the precise effect of reuptake inhibitors on synaptic transmission?
Reuptake inhibitors, such as fluoxetine (prozac) and other drugs of the SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) category, function by inhibiting synaptic reuptake transporters.
The concentration of synaptic serotonin is controlled directly by its reuptake into the pre- synaptic terminal and, thus, drugs blocking serotonin transport have been successfully used for the treatment of depression.
The mode of action of these antidepressant drugs on their direct target, the serotonin transport protein, and possible regulatory mechanisms with respect to long-term alleviation of depression, although having been investigated both neurobiologically and clinically over the last years, are not yet understood.

 Assessment of the Serotonin and Norepinephrine Reuptake Blocking Properties of Duloxetine in Healthy Subjects   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
To insure maximal biological response during the reuptake assessments, participants were instructed to take their last dose of medication 2 to 3 hours prior to the beginning of testing.
Blockade of NE reuptake was expected to manifest itself by a decrease in the elevation of BP that was shown prior to drug administration (effect of tyramine measured on day 0).
Since the reuptake of 5-HT was inhibited in our human volunteers at the lowest dosage (20 mg/day), it seems unlikely that the 60 mg/day regimen was insufficient to block the NE carrier.

 New Research Explains Lithium’s Dual Anti-Manic/Anti-Depressive Effect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
A structure on the end of the releasing nerve cell, called a reuptake transporter, then shuts off the signal by reabsorbing the glutamate, pumping it back into the cell for reuse.
“We were especially interested to find that the reuptake mechanism in the 18 lithium-treated mice was stabilised in a very narrow range, compared to the 18 controls,” he said.
What’s more, he added, lithium doesn’t change the moods of people who aren’t bipolar, suggesting that their glutamate levels may be positioned consistently within the set zone, and therefore would not be affected by the drug.

The selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors showed less participants dropping out compared to the tricyclic/heterocyclic group (odds ratio 1.21, 95% confidence interval 1.12 to 1.30).
A statistically significant difference was found in total drop-outs between the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and the old tricyclics as well as the newer tricyclics.
When the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors were compared to the heterocyclic antidepressants, there was a non significant difference favouring the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.

The uniqueness of different SSRIs is most evident in the dramatic differences that individual patients can demonstrate in their clinical responses as well as side effects from one SSRI to another.
There are at least 10 such secondary properties as potent or within 1 order of magnitude of serotonin reuptake potency (see figure), and the list grows as new receptors and enzymes are better clarified.
Differences in binding to various neurotransmitter receptors are now generating hypotheses to explain differences in tolerability in anxious patients, in cognitive effects, in anticholinergic effects, and many others.

 Reuptake
Serotonis is cleared from the synapse by a reuptake pump that is powered by Na Cl and K
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs like Prozac) act primarily at the 5HT transporter protein and have limited, if any, reaction with other neurotransmitter systems.
Consequently, more serotonin remains in the cleft where it is free to travel further to more distant receptors as well as continue to react with nearby receptors.

 Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) for depression
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) relieve symptoms of depression by increasing the amount of serotonin available.
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are as effective in treating depression as other types of antidepressants, such as tricyclic antidepressants and MAOIs, but they have different and often less severe side effects.
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) can take 4 to 12 weeks to start working, although they may be effective much sooner.

MONTREAL, QC -- July 9, 2001 -- Diabetics patients with depression who are being treated with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor agents need more rigorous blood glucose monitoring, May Clinic researchers recommend.
Patients with diabetes who are being treated with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) should make sure their primary care doctor as well as their specialists know what drugs they are using to treat their depression.
According to a small case study from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, United States, SSRIs might have an impact on diabetics that leaves these patients susceptible to hypoglycemic reactions with devastating results.
