General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction the brain stem of intrauterine growth-restricted offspring show significant increase of L-tryptophan, 5-hydroxytryptamine, tryptophan-5-hydroxylase and also dihydropteridine activity in the brain stem in comparison to controls. Intrauterine growth restriction produces an increase of serotonin biosynthesis in the brain stem. This is accompanied by an increase in dihydropteridine activity that appears to be a compensatory mechanism to maintain sufficient tetrahydrobiopterin for the donation of electrons during the accelerated synthesis of brain serotonin in intrauterine growth-restricted rats Rattus norvegicus
