Abstract

Serotonin, 5-oxyindolacetic acid content, and monoaminooxidase activity proved to exceed such in the kidney of rabbit. This pointed to the high capacity of the intestine in respect to the accumulation of serotonin and the processes of its catabolism. The reverse regularity was noted for 5-oxytryptophanedecarboxylase, the activity of which was about 12 times greater in the kidney than in the intestine, this apparently characterizing a low capacity of this tissue in the course of decarboxylation of 5-oxytryptophane.
