Research Progress of Neurotransmitters and the Receptors Involved in Premenstrual Syndrome

Pathogenesis of premenstrual syndrome is so complicated that a clear understanding of it is still missing.Neurotransmitters,which may have close relation to PMS,including monoamines,aminoacids and neuropeptides.Domestic and abroad researches have found that PMS is closely related to monoamines(5-HE、DA and NE)and aminoacids(GABA and Glu are of greater importance),but studies on neuropeptides are less and supeificial.Here is to introduce the development of neurotransmitters and their receptors related to PMS according to their categories,with expectation to provide references on neural and biochemical micro-mechanism for PMS.
