[Spectrofluorometric determination of 5-hydroxytryptamine and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid in rat diencephalon (author's transl)]. 1982

E Martínez-Conde, and M J López-Puente, and M L Leret, and A Fraile

A spectrofluorometric method to determine 5-HT and 5-HIAA in rat diencephalon has been developed, following the criterion of unifying the methodology in determining biogenic amines and their metabolites. Linearity in the method remains in the interval between 0.01 microgram and 0.05 microgram. Recovery is about 70% for amine and about 80% for the metabolite. Highest concentrations of 5-HT appear in one month old female animals, and are significantly higher than those found in the male population of the same age. Concentrations in two month old animals decrease, without significant differences between males and females. Values found for 5-HIAA seem not to change so significantly, although a slight decrease is observed in the elder males.

D000367 Age Factors Age as a constituent element or influence contributing to the production of a result. It may be applicable to the cause or the effect of a circumstance. It is used with human or animal concepts but should be differentiated from AGING, a physiological process, and TIME FACTORS which refers only to the passage of time.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

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
D012737 Sex Factors Maleness or femaleness as a constituent element or influence contributing to the production of a result. It may be applicable to the cause or effect of a circumstance. It is used with human or animal concepts but should be differentiated from SEX CHARACTERISTICS, anatomical or physiological manifestations of sex, and from SEX DISTRIBUTION, the number of males and females in given circumstances.
