[Serotonin and dumping syndrome (author's transl)].

Abstract
5-hydroxyindole acetic acid, xanthurenic acid and kynurenin, --that is to say the major metabolites of serotonin, were measured in the urines of 31 patients with dumping syndrome. Serotonin concentrations were measured as well in peripheral venous blood before and after a glucose load in 47 patient with dumping syndrome. All values measured were in the normal range. Comparison of serotonin levels in peripheral and portal venous blood yielded normal results as well. It is therefore concluded, that serotonin does not play an essential role in the etiology of the dumping syndrome.
