(i) Anatomical colocalization and functional interaction of central serotonergic, noradrenergic, and dopaminergic systems. | (ii) Inhibition or potentiation of other neurotransmitters such as substance P, acetylcholine, glutamate, | adenosine, GABA, and monoamine. | (iii) Mediation of immune cells such as astrocytes, macrophages, and phagocytic (monocytes, neutrophils) cells. | (iv) Immune system modulation of proinflammatory mediators such as cytokines and chemokines, especially | IL-1beta and TNF-, and including NFB, IL-2, IL-6, and CRP. | (v) Immune system modulation of T cell responses inhibiting the production of IL-2, IL-17, and IL-21, and by | stimulating IL-4 and IL-10 production. | (vi) Immune system modulation via synthesis and/or release of growth hormone releasing hormone, | prostaglandin-D2, adenosine, and NO. | (vii) Influence on the hypothalamus–pituitary–adrenal axis and corticosteroid levels |
