摘要
Circadian rhythm and the relationship between the concentration of serotonin (5HT) and related substances (5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid ; 5HIAA and tryptophan ; Trp ) in mouse brain, stomach and blood have been studied. All factors underwent circadian changes in the brain and blood. 5HT and 5HIAA levels in the stomach showed no circadian fluctuation. The concentrations of 5HT in the brain and blood did not correlate. Significant correlations were found between other serotonergic parameters analyzed in brain, stomach and blood. A significant negative correlation was observed between brain 5HIAA and blood 5HIAA. The concentration of tryptophan in the brain was correlated with the plasma total tryptophan level . There was fairly significant correlation (p < 0.06) between brain serotonin and plasma tryptophan levels . The brain serotonin and tryptophan levels were strongly correlated (R = 0.410, p < 0.03). Significant negative correlation was found between serotonin in the blood and serotonin in the stomach as well as between its level in the brain and in the stomach. The significance of these findings and their relationship to the use of peripheral serotonergic system as a model of neurons are discussed.
