Abstract
Yellow 5-HT fluorescence has been histochemically demonstrated in rat pancreatic islet cells in animals injected with L-5-HTP with or without pretreatment with the monoaminoxidase inhibitor nialamide. This fluorescence was not observed after inhibition of the aromatic amino acid decarobxylase. The results strongly suggest the presence of a tryptaminergic mechanism in the rat islet cells.Entities:
