5-Hydroxyindoles in mental deficiency.
نویسندگان
چکیده
During a previous investigation in which a decreased production of 5-hydroxyindoles was demonstrated in phenylketonuric patients (Pare, Sandler, and Stacey, 1957, 1959), we observed that some non-phenylketonuric mental defectives had abnormally high serum levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT). We have now extended our observations and tried to define the extent and significance of this finding.

Effects of aspartame and glucose administration on brain and plasma levels of large neutral amino acids and brain 5-hydroxyindoles.
Administration of the artificial sweetener aspartame (L-aspartylphenylalanylmethyl ester; 200 mg/kg) by gavage to rats caused large increments in brain and plasma levels of phenylalanine and its product tyrosine. Glucose administration (3 g/kg, by gavage, a dose sufficient to cause insulin-mediated reductions in plasma levels of the large neutral amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine) als...
متن کاملIntraplatelet serotonin and plasma 5-hydroxyindoles in health and disease.
Using a fluorometric test sensitive to serotonin (5-HT) and to other 5-hydroxyindoles (5-HIs) it was shown that platelets take up 5-HT and that the added 5-HT and the inherent test-positive material in platelet lysate can be directly measured. However, platelets do not take up 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid or the 5-HIs from the plasma. Thus, 5-HT and the other 5-HIs can be distinguished. Various ...
متن کاملReduction effect of theanine on blood pressure and brain 5-hydroxyindoles in spontaneously hypertensive rats.
The effect of theanine, one of the components of green tea, on the blood pressure and brain 5-hydroxyindoles in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY) was investigated by intraperitoneally administering theanine. The effect of glutamine, which is structurally similar to theanine, was also examined. When SHR were injected with various amounts of theanine (0, 500, 1000,...
متن کاملInhibition of Pseudomonas aeruginosa swarming motility by 1-naphthol and other bicyclic compounds bearing hydroxyl groups.
Many bacteria convert bicyclic compounds, such as indole and naphthalene, to oxidized compounds, including hydroxyindoles and naphthols. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a ubiquitous bacterium that inhabits diverse environments, shows pathogenicity against animals, plants, and other microorganisms, and increasing evidence has shown that several bicyclic compounds alter the virulence-related phenotypes o...
متن کاملInhibitory effect of hydroxyindoles and their analogues on human melanoma tyrosinase.
A recent study showed that N-acylserotonin derivatives have strong inhibitory activity against tyrosinase. To clarify the role of the 5-hydroxy group in the indole ring, 2-, 4-, 5-, 6-, and 7-hydroxyindole and 11 related compounds such as 5-hydroxyindan and 6-hydroxyquinoline were tested for their inhibition of catecholase activity of tyrosinase from human HMV-II melanoma cells. 6-Hydroxyindole...
