Effects of various periods of food deprivation on serotonin turnover in the lateral hypothalamus. 1978

K M Kantak, and M J Wayner, and J M Stein

Preliminary results indicated enhanced serotonin turnover in the lateral hypothalamus of 24 hr food deprived rats as compared to non-deprived rats. In the present study, the periods of food deprivation were extended in ordered that the effects of 0. 24, 48 and 72 hr of food deprivation on serotonin turnover could be measured. One hr following an infusion of 3H-5-hydroxytryptamine the lateral hypothalamus was perfused with physiological bacteriostatic saline for 40 min. Samples of perfusate, which corresponds to 75--90 min post-infusion, were analyzed by thin layer chromatography for estimation of 3H-labelled precursor and metabolites. The results indicate that serotonin turnover is enhanced as a function of hours of food deprivation.

D002849 Chromatography, Gas Fractionation of a vaporized sample as a consequence of partition between a mobile gaseous phase and a stationary phase held in a column. Two types are gas-solid chromatography, where the fixed phase is a solid, and gas-liquid, in which the stationary phase is a nonvolatile liquid supported on an inert solid matrix.

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
