cyclic adenosine monophosphate

cyclic adenosine monophosphate Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is a signaling molecule made from adenosine triphosphate that acts as a second messenger inside cells, helping transmit cellular responses.

Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is a signaling molecule made from adenosine triphosphate that acts as a second messenger inside cells, helping transmit cellular responses. In the psychology-related research described here, lower cAMP levels were reported in some studies of major depressive disorder and were discussed as a state-related biological finding linked to reduced metabolism.
