Multiple sclerosis and neurochemical disturbances

Vladimir V. Markelov1, Maxim V. Trushin2

ABSTRACT

The data presented in this manuscript suggest a pivotal role of the central nervous system (CNS) in the regulation of immune status. We describe here that some neurochemical disturbances may provoke development of various diseases including multiple sclerosis. Some theoretic and practical backgrounds, how to improve the multiple sclerosis sufferers and patients with other autoimmune disorders, are also given.

KEY WORDS: Multiple sclerosis, Neurotransmitters, Tryptophan, Immunomodulation.
