What is cheese Reaction??
To understand this we have to first understand about depression.When neurotransmitters like dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin,( collectively known as monoamine) decreases then depression occurs.Now their is an enzyme called monoamine oxidase which oxidises these monoamines and it is also responsible for cleaning and removal of tyramine from body cells.For treatment of depression we use Monoamine oxidase inhibitors(MAOIs) so it inhibits monoamine oxidase and hence depression is treated as the normal level of neurotransmitters are maintained in blood but as a side effect tyramine increases in body now if this women eats products that have huge amount of tyramine like cheese then it will further increase the tyramine levels in body which will cause an hypertensive crisis in body.So to summarise when a patient eats MAOIs and also cheese then it will cause hypertensive crisis known as cheese Reaction.
