AI Article Synopsis
- The study explores how variations in the serotonin transporter and monoamine oxidase A genes relate to aggression and emotional states in combat athletes.
- Athletes with the "short" variant of monoamine oxidase A display higher motivation and lower frustration compared to those with the "long" variant.
- Those carrying the "short" variant of the serotonin transporter gene exhibit increased physical aggression and guilt, and genetic variations are linked to more cellular abnormalities in the buccal epithelium.
Article Abstract
The influence of polymorphism of the serotonin transporter and monoamine oxidase A genes, associated with man's aggressiveness on the psycho-emotional state and karyological status of single combat athletes. It was revealed that the carriers of less active ("short"), monoamine oxidase A gene variant have a high motivation to succeed and less rigidity and frustrated, compared to the carriers of more active ("long") version of the gene. Heterozygote carriers of less active ("short") variant of the serotonin transporter gene 5-HTTL had more physical aggression, guilt and were less frustrated compared with carriers of two long alleles. It has been revealed the association of studied genes with the karyological status of athletes. So fighters who are carriers of the short and long alleles of the serotonin transporter gene had more cells with nuclear abnormalities in the buccal epithelium than single combat athletes which both alleles were long.
