[Analysis of the interaction of the dopaminergic and serotoninergic systems in immunomodulation]

The monoamine systems take part in the mechanisms of immunomodulation: the dopaminergic one accelerates and the serotoninergic system inhibits the development of immune response, the final result being determined by their interaction. The immunomodulation is actualized by the dopaminergic system through the thymus and by the serotoninergic one--through the adrenals.
