Hypothalamic Digoxin, Cerebral Dominance and Brain Function in Health and Diseases

The human hypothalamus produces endogenous membrane sodium potassium ATPase inhibitor digoxin. The isoprenoid pathway synthesizes digoxin. The other products of the isoprenoid pathway are – dolichol, ubiquinone and cholesterol. Hemispheric chemical dominance can be related to the isoprenoid pathway and digoxin synthesis. In right hemispheric chemical dominance there is an unregulated isoprenoid pa...
