It isn&#8217;t a hormone, but works alongside them\u00a0to help your body run smoothly.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>It is produced\u00a0in two areas of the brain<\/strong><\/em> &#8211; the <strong>substantia negra<\/strong> and the ventral <strong>tegmental area<\/strong>. It\u00a0has receptors in the adrenal glands and is from the same &#8216;family&#8217; as epinephrine and norepinephrine.<\/p>\n<p>The main role of this chemical messenger is to regulate mood, sleep and behavior &#8211; it is also heavily involved in cognition. <strong>It is most well known its role in feelings of pleasure and euphoria,\u00a0<\/strong>therefore is often referred to as the &#8216;feel good&#8217; hormone. This neurotransmitter\u00a0regulates<strong>\u00a0reward-motivation\u00a0<\/strong><b>behavior <\/b>[1] and\u00a0reinforces us to perform certain activities if we get enjoyment from them.\u00a0It\u00a0is also\u00a0involved in forming addictions for the same reason.<\/p>\n<p>This neurotransmitter\u00a0forms yet another part of the complex hypothalamic-pituitary axis which means that its production and release into the body is controlled by the brain. Imbalances can cause a number of illnesses such as Parkinson&#8217;s, psychosis and ADHD.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>When balanced and optimized, this particular neurotransmitter\u00a0ensures that you have plenty of energy and you feel vibrant, energized and confident.

It\u00a0regulates DOPA\u00a0and vice versa &#8211; the two have a very reciprocal, bi-directional relationship.<\/p>\n<p>The release of T from the testes is regulated within the brain as part of the\u00a0<em><strong>hypothalamic-pituitary-gonodal axis (HPG).<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>The hypothalamus &#8211; located in the brain,\u00a0releases a hormone called\u00a0<strong>gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)<\/strong>\u00a0which then signals the pituitary gland to release a hormone called\u00a0<strong>luteinizing hormone (LH).\u00a0<\/strong>This\u00a0hormone\u00a0then tells the testes to produce testosterone.<\/p>\n<p>To illustrate the importance of the HPG working smoothly for T production, a study in the journal\u00a0<em>Endocrinology\u00a0<\/em>observed that when rats were given a solution that reduced DOPA, GnRH mRNA decreased by 67% [2]. <strong>Without enough GnRH, the pituitary gland does not receive enough of a stimulus to send LH to the testes<\/strong>. Ultimately this results in low testosterone production.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, a study published in\u00a0<em>The American Journal of Psychiatry\u00a0<\/em>found that when neurotransmitter\u00a0blockers were given to 9 men, LH fell significantly. Not only that, there was a significant increase in the hormone\u00a0<strong><em>prolactin<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>which is another important part of the HPG system<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>[3].<\/p>\n<p>Prolactin is a hormone that decreases testosterone levels and works directly against DOPA\u00a0so when it increases it&#8217;s a bad thing. <em><strong>It is the &#8216;brake&#8217; to the testosterone &#8216;gas&#8217; so it is important that it is\u00a0kept in check, or prolactin will play havoc on your T levels.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1344 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/tf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Dopamine-and-Prolactin.jpg\" alt=\"Dopamine-and-Prolactin\" width=\"800\" height=\"449\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/tf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Dopamine-and-Prolactin.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/tf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Dopamine-and-Prolactin-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/tf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Dopamine-and-Prolactin-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/tf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Dopamine-and-Prolactin-768x431.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>What can you do to optimize your dopamine levels?<\/h2>\n<p>So by now you know how important it is to get the levels of this neurotransmitter\u00a0optimized for effective T production- the next questions is how?

A study in the journal\u00a0<em>Hormone and Metabolic Research <\/em>reported that<em>\u00a0<\/em>supplementing 3,332 IU daily for 1 year significantly increased both total and free T levels [4].<\/p>\n<p>In order to optimize your neurotransmitter\u00a0levels\u00a0you need to ditch foods that are high in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/tf\/does-sugar-lower-testosterone\/\"><strong>sugar<\/strong><\/a>, including high glycemic foods such as white bread, pasta and cakes. Not only will they affect your neurotransmitters, they&#8217;ll make your T levels plummet as well.<\/p>\n<p>As an example of the damaging effect of sugar on T levels, a study in\u00a0<em>Clinical\u00a0Endocrinology\u00a0<\/em>saw\u00a074 men given 75g of glucose, and then monitored their testosterone levels. The changes were severe &#8211; <strong>on average, the volunteers experienced a 25% drop in T levels\u00a0<\/strong>[5].<\/p>\n<p>You should replace sugary foods with ones that contain <em><strong>tyrosine<\/strong> <\/em>&#8211; an amino acid.
