Abstract

1. 1. Levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid (5-HIAA) were measured in hemispheres and brainstems of maturing mice following monoamine oxidase (MAO) blockade with pargyline. 2. 2. 5-HT elevations were matched by 5-HIAA reduction in 1-, 2- and 6-week-old brains following blockade. 1 Day old brain did not show a 5-HIAA reduction; but did show a 5-HT elevation following blockade. 3. 3. It is suggested that neonatal brain may employ alternative pathway endproducts for 5-HT catabolism.
