title: [Correlation between serotonin and prostaglandins in peritoneal fluid collected from patients with pelvic congestion].
abstract: The concentration of serotonin and prostaglandins in peritoneal fluid were measured in 14 patients with pelvic congestion and 14 normal women. Results showed that in pelvic congestion group 5-HT and TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha levels were higher than that of control; but DA and histamine were lower. It is suggested that the serotonin and prostaglandins may play an important role in developing pelvic congestion.
