Uridine is a nucleoside. Uridine-5'-monophosphate is a nucleotide.
There, isn't that better? :-p
The phosphated form, the nucleotide, is a constituent of RNA, all ready to go.
Somehow, if one is following the research and where it is leading us, somehow increasing RNA concentrations, particularly cytidine and uridine (so far), seems to be antidepressant. In rats. Based on tail-flicking.
