The primary mechanisms of action of certain antidepressants result from neurotransmitter inactivation by enzyme-based metabolism and what other event?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The primary mechanisms of action of certain antidepressants involve reuptake inhibition, which prevents the presynaptic neuron from taking serotonin or norepinephrine back up into the storage vesicles, thus increasing the availability of these neurotransmitters in the synapse. This is in addition to enzyme-based metabolism.
