Uptake of 5-hydroxytryptamine in the catecholamine containing areas of the hypothalamus of the rat after treatment with phenelzine and tryptophan.
1 Uptake of 5-hydroxytryptamine in the catecholamine containing nerve endings of the hypothalamus in the rat brain was found after intraperitoneal injection of phenelzine sulphate (25 mg/kg) and tryptophan (100 and 400 mg/kg). 2 The results were obtained by fluorescence microscopy and microspectrofluorimetry.
