1. Previously, we have shown that exposure to hypoxia stimulates serotonin uptake by cultured bovine pulmonary arterial endothelial cells. 2. In the present study, lungs isolated from rats exposed to 24 h, 48 h or 14 days of hypobaric hypoxia (0.43 or 0.5 atm) manifested no alteration of serotonin uptake in comparison to lungs from normoxic controls. 3. In addition, hypoxic stimulation of serotonin uptake by cultured rat epididymal endothelial cells was much less than that occurring in bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells. 4. We conclude that chronic hypoxia does not stimulate serotonin uptake by rat lungs exposed in vivo as it does in endothelial cells exposed in vitro.

D012701 Serotonin A biochemical messenger and regulator, synthesized from the essential amino acid L-TRYPTOPHAN. In humans it is found primarily in the central nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, and blood platelets. Serotonin mediates several important physiological functions including neurotransmission, gastrointestinal motility, hemostasis, and cardiovascular integrity. Multiple receptor families (RECEPTORS, SEROTONIN) explain the broad physiological actions and distribution of this biochemical mediator. 5-HT,5-Hydroxytryptamine,3-(2-Aminoethyl)-1H-indol-5-ol,Enteramine,Hippophaine,Hydroxytryptamine,5 Hydroxytryptamine
