title: Unsuitability of control sucrose or glucose in studies of the effects of chronic ethanol administration on brain 5-hydroxytryptamine metabolism.
abstract: Chronic sucrose or glucose administration enhances 5-hydroxytryptamine synthesis in rat brain, as does ethanol. This suggests that the above sugars are not suitable for use as control treatments in studies of the chronic effects of ethanol on brain 5-hydroxytryptamine metabolism.
