Infusion of a new soluble ester of L-5-hydroxytryptophan produced euphoria in 34/35 experiments in healthy subjects. Parallel measurements of growth hormone and mood changes showed a similar rise and fall of these two parameters in 8/11 subjects. These results indicate that central stimulatory serotoninergic mechanisms (in addition to the well-known dopaminergic and alpha-adrenergic stimulation) play a role in the control of growth hormone release.
