Serotonin (5-Hydroxytryptamine), a biogenic amine, is a product of the tryptophan metabolism. It is a well evaluated neurotransmitter of the central nervous system and can be found in high concentrations in the chromaffine cells of the intestinal mucosa, in the platelets and the serotonergic neurones of the brain. Central-serotonergic neurons influence physiological functions such as sleep and the hormonal and cardio-vascular regulation. Increased serum levels can be found with malignant carcinoid, endogenous depression and schizophrenia.
