Endogenous digoxin, hemispheric dominance and family bonding behavior

The isoprenoid pathway produces endogenous digoxin which can regulate neurotransmitter and amino acid transport. Digoxin synthesis and neurotransmitter patterns were assessed in individuals with differing family bonding patterns. The patterns were compared in those with right hemispheric and left hemispheric dominance. Digoxin synthesis was increased with upregulated tryptophan catabolism (increased levels of serotonin, strychnine and nicotine) and down regulated tyrosine catabolism (decreased levels of dopamine, noradrenaline and morphine) in those with reduced family bonding and right hemispheric chemical dominance. Digoxin synthesis was reduced with down regulated tryptophan catabolism (decreased levels of serotonin, strychnine and nicotine) and upregulated tyrosine catabolism (increased levels of dopamine, noradrenaline and morphine) in those with increased family bonding and left hemispheric chemical dominance. Hypothalamic digoxin plays a central role in the regulation of family bonding behavior. Hemispheric chemical dominance in relation to digoxin status is also crucial.
