Influence of Adrenalectomy and Hypophysectomy on Cerebral Serotonin

DOMENICO DE MAIO 1

1 Istituti Psichiatrici Provinciali, Milan, Italy

Changes in serous and encephalic serotonin in hypophysectomized or adrenalectomized rats have been observed. Adrenalectomy produces a decrease of serous serotonin and an increase of the serotonin of hemispheres, base, and medulla oblongata; with hypophysectomy, serotonin is also reduced in serum and increased only in the base and medulla oblongata.
