Abstract
By monitoring myocardial interstitial levels of 5-HT and its metabolite, 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid, we investigated 5-HT kinetics during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion. 5-HT accumulates but 5-HT degradation is suppressed during ischemia. After reperfusion, 5-HT degradation is enhanced and this degradation is dependent on monoamine oxidase activity but not fluoxetine-sensitive uptake transporter.
