But new research suggests that a protein called p11, previously shown to play a role in a person`s susceptibility to depression, activates a serotonin receptor in the brain known for producing a rapid antidepressant response. If scientists could develop drugs to target this receptor, they might produce an effect in as little as two days. http://www.physorg.com/news154800119.html Medicine & Health Wed, 25 Feb 2009 16:03:28 EST news154800119 (PhysOrg.com) -- Once hailed as a miracle weight-loss drug, Fen-phen was removed from the market more than a decade ago for inducing life-threatening side effects, including heart valve lesions.
