title: [The content of free serotonin in urine after resection of part of the gastro-intestinal-tract (author's transl)].
abstract: The elimination of free serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) in 24 h urine, from patients with gastric carcinoma before operation and from patients following 2/3 gastrectomy (Billroth II), intestinal- or colon-rectum-resection, was measured using direct quantitative thin-layer chromatographic-fluorometry. By comparison with a heterogeneous control group a lowered elimination of free serotonin was observed in patients with gastric carcinoma and following colon-rectum-resection. The remaining groups showed no significant difference with the control group.
