Etymology

seroton(in) + -ergic

adj

  1. Containing or releasing serotonin.
  2. Involved in, or capable of modulating activity in, neurotransmission pathways that use serotonin receptor proteins.
    Moreover, the results of multiple administrations of the receptor ligands to control rats indicate that the NPY systems in both structures under study are modulated in the same manner by dopaminergic activity and differentially by adrenergic, N-methyl-D-aspartate and serotonergic activity. 2005, Obuchowicz et al, Pharmacological Reports
