Selenium (Se) nanoparticles have been proposed as food supplements. However, the particle formulation may exert unexpected toxicity. The aim was therefore to compare toxicity of low doses of Se nanoparticles and the dissolved, ionized Se species selenite. Female rats were

To evaluate the changes in plasma and platelet serotonin (5-HT) as markers of the serotoninergic system in equines, 5-HT content was measured by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in deproteinized plasma obtained from peripheral blood samples of 12 clinically healthy
Pharmacological effects of 5-hydroxykynuramine (5-HK) were investigated in chicken whole blood. It was shown that 5-HK had a time-depending inhibiting activity on platelet aggregation induced by 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT). Experiments were carried out in order to determine whether the inhibitory effect
The effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and related compounds on the discharge rate of tonically active medial vestibular nucleus (MVN) neurones were studied in an in vitro slice preparation of the dorsal brainstem of the rat. The majority (87 of 107

Two serotonin derivatives, N,N-dimethylserotonin 5-O-β-glucoside (1a) and N-methylserotonin 5-O-β-glucoside (1b) were isolated from immature seeds of Zanthoxylum piperitum. Their structures were determined by multi-step conversion reactions and spectroscopic analyses. Immature seeds of Z. piperitum contained extremely high levels of compounds
