[Oxygen consumption in organs of rats treated with serotonin].
The serotonin injected intraperitoneally in rats (20 mg/Kg of body weight) increases the oxygen utilization of slices of heart, liver and muscle with a maximum value after 60 min from the injection. The serotonin, probably, acts on intracellular metabolism increasing some enzymatic activities or metabolic pathways.
