Acetylcholine & Catecholamine Neurotransmitters & MAO & COMT by Professor Steven Fink

In this Video Lecture, Professor Fink reviews Acetylcholine (ACh) and the Catecholamine Neurotransmitters (Dopamine, Norepinephrine & Epinephrine). First the synthesis & metabolism of ACh is described and then the location of the 2 primary types of ACh Receptor Sites (Muscarinic & Nicotinic) is identified. Then the synthesis of the Catecholamines & their metabolism (by MAO & COMT) is described. "Catechol", "Amine" & "Catecholamine" are defined. Orally-Active Non-Catecholamine Sympathomimetics are described (including phenylephrine, ephedrine, amphetamine & albuterol). Reference is made to acetylcholinesterase, MonoAmine Oxidase, Catechol-O-Methyl Transferase, phenylalanine & DOPA.
