The Alaska pipeline starts at the frozen edge of the Arctic Ocean. It stretchessouthward across the largest and northernmost state in the United States, ending at a remote ice-free seaport village nearly 800 miles from where it begins. It is massive in size and extremely complicated to operate. The pipe is 4 feet in diameter, and up to 2 million barrels (or 84 million gallons) of crude oil can be pumped through it daily. The pipeline cost approximately $8 billion and is by far the biggest and most expensive construction project ever undertaken by private industry.

An increase in the level of serotonin levels in the human body is known to significantly enhance the mood of the person and in some cases, help people overcome depression. Serotonin taken orally does not pass into the pathways of the central nervous system, because it does not cross the blood-brain barrier.

These agents are available as dietary supplements, and may be effective serotonergic agents.Which of the following can be correctly inferred from the statements above?
