39 Ninety-five percent of the body's serotonin is made by the gut, but gut serotonin cannot enter the brain because it is barred by a membrane, the so-called blood-brain barrier.

40 As a result, those individuals who might be predisposed to aggression were the most sensitive to changes in serotonin depletion.

41 Thus, serotonin has only a brief influence on the target neurons. Drugs that prevent this re-uptake, such as Prozac, are frequently used to treat patients with depression.

57 Besides containing melatonin and serotonin in small quantities, a banana also contains Magnesium, material that can stimulate muscle relaxant.

58 Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, for example, can decrease libido in people.

59 Their research also helps explain why some people become combative or aggressive when hungry because the essential amino acid needed for the body to create serotonin is only obtained through diet.
