Summer and SERT: Effect of daily sunshine hours on SLC6A4 promoter methylation in seasonal affective disorder Knowledge on how sunlight impacts SERT activity via SLC6A4 promoter methylation in Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) remains limited. This study aimed to investigate the effect of daily sunshine du...

Excited to share our latest paper exploring how sunlight🌞 relates to SERT 🧬 methylation:
#UnexpectedFindings: More sunlight ➡️ lower #SLC6A4 #methylation ➡️ possibly higher SERT expression ➡️ lower serotonin availability.
Surprisingly not #SAD-specific.
