title: [Morphometric study of the effect of 5-hydroxytryptophan on the activity of various hypothalamic centers in rats depending on the state of their sexual system].
abstract: The effect of 5-oxytryptophan (serotonin metabolic precursor), injected intraperitoneally to female rats (intact and with deafferented mediobasal hypothalamus) on the activity of a number of hypothalamic centres was studied. The activity of cells, both outside and inside the isolated area, proved to alter under the effect of 5-oxytryptophan. The direction of these effects depends on the initial state of the hypothalamic centres and on the hormone in whose presence serotonin acts.
