Serotonin content and turnover rate inhypothalamus of rat were determined with spectrofluorometry combined degra-dation blockade. 5-HT turnover rate in hypothalamus decreased during bothsubacute and chronic fluorosis. 5-HT content in hypothalamus increased duringsubacute fluorosis, but decreased during chronic fluorosis. These results suggestthat the influences on 5-HT metabolism of two kinds of fluorosis are not com-pletely identical. The decrease of 5-HT turnover rate in hypothalamus may be one of thepossible mechanisms of deficiency of pituitary prolactin and milk secretion dur-ing fluorosis.展开更多
